Hello folks … :grinning_face:

Registration is open to add your name to the list of performers at the next JustinGuitar Community Open Mic #38.

__

When?
Saturday 25 April 2026 @ 19:00 UTC

NOTE

Please ensure you fully meet the JGC OM Performer Criteria for Open Mics, as detailed in this Call For Interest (CFI) and in the links below. Performer slots are available according to the following criteria.

  • We ask that performers be actively engaged members who embody the positive and supportive pay-it-forward ethos we have long nurtured within the Community.
  • We ask that performers have made an Introductory topic, ideally including some information about their learning path with JustinGuitar.
  • We ask that performers have shared recent audio-video of their playing in the Community Recordings section.*
  • We ask that performers have previously attended Open Mics as an audience member or performer.

Performers

  • There are, nominally, up to 15 performer slots available with an opportunity to play 1 or 2 songs. The number may be expanded if needed. Please reply stating your wish to be considered for a slot.
  • Please state your location & UTC time zone - helpful when planning the order for performers.
  • Performer slots are not allocated on a first-come first-served basis but there is a deadline.
  • The performer application window closes approximately one week prior to the event after which a final list of performers will be published and performers will be included in a private messaging to arrange further.

Audience registration

I would love to put my hat back in the ring. Sorry for being MIA for a while, but I was a manager of my son’s soccer team this year, which took a lot of my weekends recently.

I’ll join to quickly improve upon last time.
I’ll also work on more solid fallback options :slight_smile:
I’ll finally have to look at backing track options, until now I always feared the effort of setting it up right.
Last OM I felt insecure right before, then quickly played through quite a few instrumentals I remembered and thought easy enough but none were secure enough :roll_eyes:

So please a performer seat for me, less in the spotlight, more in the shade please. :grinning_face:
UTC+2 as summer time will be active by then
