That’s great stuff Michael. Hope you make it to many more. I’ve got the good fortune of an acoustic music club within driving distance and have had many good jams there around the campfire. Even started a camping weekend twice a year where 75 of us go to a great campground. Have had jams that lasted for hours on end. Great entertainment.

That was looking like a joyful afternoon, Michael! Surely, it was a great experience and by those get-togethers one could learn a lot, have fun and enjoy oneself all at the same time. Also, nice BBQ on top! 
Could it get any better? Not sure. 
Awesome!

Thanks David @BurnsRhythm
The sunglasses were essential clear blue sky and the longest day, like being on holiday in the Med.
Looking back, if you take out the time, we were eating me we must have played songs for about 3 hours.
Jason @JasonBuk
Yes, it was great fun and something completely different for me.
Nicole @NicoleKKB
The guitar club is great in organising things and making them happen.
Jason @Rossco01
It was a great experience and most of the time I was not aware of people passing bye, I was concentrating too much.
Tony @tony
It was great to find a guitar club and a super group of guys and one girl, who were happy to accept beginners like me.
It takes me all of 10 mins max to get to our usual get together in a church hall and 25 mins to the beach, can’t be bad.
Lisa @Lisa_S
I think everybody had a good time and as you say a BBQ as well

Well Michael. I can remember your post from quite a while back where you said you were thinking about going along to a guitar club. Look at you now, playing and jamming with your friends in public!
That looked like terrific fun. Well done you.

Awesome Michael, feel very envious about the setting you got yourself into. A music club, what a great thing to have! At our work we have one but it is so disorganised, clearly lacks a leader who would make something similar out of it. Well done guys, 25 songs - ouch my fingers!

You remembered well.
Joined the club September last year , so in ten months have done two gigs and the campfire/jam as well has having two masterclasses on Blues, one from a local teacher and the other from Chris Quinn (sorry Justin but could not have attempted it without some of your lessons). Learnt to play in a band situation, with more than 15 songs, with the help of chord sheets, most of which were new to me.
Well exceed my hopes and expectations but has meant that I have not progressed Grade 2 as fast as I could have with all the learning of songs, but that’s what it is all about is it not, playing songs.
Adrian @adi_mrok
Thanks, I feel really lucky to find a great bunch of guitarists with much better skills than me but willing to allow a beginner like me join in.
Trevor @skinnyt
Yes, great fun and I feel I have progressed faster than if I was just playing for myself, there are things and techniques I am not sure I would have got to until a lot later in the journey.
Nicole @JokuMuu
Yes, I count myself lucky to have a club like this so close to home.

Michael, that must have been a great evening, what a great place to jam. You are blessed to have a guitar club where you live and a lot of people to jam with. Thank you for sharing this insight. You get a lot of experience while jaming with others, I assume. And you learn a lot for sure! @roger_holland
I’m sure, your time is there already! I believe, you’re more than ready!

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for your trust 
But those friends have to come over and/or invite me to play a song on stage 
…there’s been some talk about it…but everyone (not me) is so busy… 
admittedly …i’ve been on stage with these friends before,who now perform in various compositions throughout the Netherlands (and some beyond)…and then my contribution was from some simple and poorly executed chords…more than 30 years ago…i’m afraid they still have that period in their heads…uh ears …I’m going to press the record button more often these weeks with my newly bought phone standtripod and will share it with that scum… yes yes and you 
Greetings…

Thanks. It is a nice walk along the promenade and there were lots of people and dogs taking in the good weather and hopefully enjoying what we were doing.
Roger @roger_holland
Just get out and do it if you get a chance.
At the beginning of last year there was a gap of more than 50 years since I did a bit when a teenager and didn’t get very far then, no Justin. I don’t like to go on about ages but if life starts at 40 then my 30th birthday is next month; I have got to take these chances when they come along. If it had been when I was in my twenties, not sure I would have been so relaxed about it.
Andrea @Helen0609
Yes, it was a great evening, and I do count myself very fortunate to have come across the local guitar club and so close to home.

Michael, looks like you had a lot of fun and you can learn so much by playing with folks who may be better than you or at least with different backgrounds and things you can learn. Maybe some day I can find something like that near me.

Yes it was good fun, but as you say all of a better standard than me but I reassure myself they were all like me at one time.
Very fortunate to find something like the club so close to home.

That looked wonderful Michael. Great location, superb weather and playing with a group of guitar friends, with food thrown in. Does life get much sweeter? Good on you for getting out there and doing it, especially with most of the songs you picking up on the fly.

Thanks, yes great fun.
First time I have tried to play along with a song and not know the chords, I am sure I was wrong most of the time. But advice I got when I did my first gig at the guitar club, if you play wrong chord the audience will probably not notice but if you are out of rhythm with the rest they will notice, good advice, so I hope I got away with it.
Mark @Notter
Don’t think we have any further planned at the moment, not sure we can rely on getting such good weather.
@Eccleshall
Yes I think everybody enjoyed and hopefully so did the people passing bye.
