Add to Calendar 2025-03-08 10:00:00 2025-03-08 12:00:00 America/New_York YDL Guitar Club Bring your acoustic or electric guitar, pick a favorite simple song to share, and practice some tunes with a group! Whittaker -

Bring your acoustic or electric guitar, pick a favorite simple song to share, and practice some tunes with a group!

Join our long-running YDL Guitar Club to practice your skills, learn new songs, and play in a group. Other stringed instruments are welcome, and singing is encouraged, but emphasis is on the guitar.

Beginners may want to listen and observe for a session to see if our group is a good fit. No experience with proper sheet music is necessary, but we do often use basic tabs and chord notations. 

Each person is invited to bring a song to share -- a cover tune that is relatively easy for everyone to work with. You are welcome to print and bring guitar tabs/chords and lyrics (often available online), or email group leader Aaron with a song suggestion, and he can print copies for everyone. 

Recent songs we have played include "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen, "Brown-Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison, "Love Like Me" by Billy Strings, and "Penny Lane" by the Beatles.

Questions or comments? Contact YDL Librarian Aaron Smith at asmith@ypsilibrary.org or 734-482-4110 x1335 for more information.
