I am Reli! I just moved in Gent 3 weeks ago.
I am looking for a guitar community to be able to learn more about guitar. I have no friends yet in Belgium and I am also looking for an activity that will keep me busy. I am a beginner, but I really want to level up my acoustic guitar journey.
I hope someone could help me connect to the guitar community…
Hello Gerrylene,
Welcome, and you can at least stop looking…I can say with 100% certainty that there is no better that is so big and helpful and neat as this one…
I wish you a lot of fun and hope to hear a lot from you during your guitar trip,
Greetings, Rogier
Going by your profile you have the right ambition and attitude. You have probably not only landed on the best guitar learning material out there but most likely the most supportive community to help you on your journey. Sadly can’t help you with your search for a jam buddy as I am in north west France but hope you find someone to play with in the near future.
Hi Gerrylene, we have learners from all over the world here and all ages so you couldn’t have arrived anywhere better really.
There’s always someone who can help, give advice and encouragement with any problems or questions you may have; settle in and enjoy your path learning to play guitar and have fun
Hello @Reli18 , welcome here and in Gent
I myself I live in Bruges, so if you ever plan to visit (a must, actually…) feel free to drop a line.
In Gent there is a place called “muzikantenhuis” (house of musicians), it’s worth checking out, there’s a lot going on there. It’s located in the Dampoortstraat, the main focus there is on acoustic, folk and ethnic music. If you’re into blues, Missi Sippy in a street named Klein Turkije (close to the Korenmarkt) is the place to be.
Oh my! Thank you for this detail! I’m gonna check it! I used to learn language course in dampoort area and I also love missy sippy! Been there many times!
Hey, I’m from Sint-Lievens-Houtem, just next to Wetteren
Beginner here, really started to play a lot from March (23)
Who knows, maybe there’s a possibility to jam in the future as we’re almost close neighbors
Yeah could be interested, even if it’s just playing to make some fun. I’m from Sint-Lievens-Houtem, so that’s not far from Gent. I started to play almost everyday since march.
