“I always wanted to learn guitar.”

It was a phrase that my husband Scott and I had often said while sitting on our porch in the evenings. We both had done the year or two of a musical instrument in grade school but had admittedly forgotten most of what we had learned.

Then, after spending a year enjoying Open Mic, I bought Scott a guitar for Christmas-and that’s when things changed! He loved playing it at night, learning new chords. At Open Mic many of the performers would stick around, jamming, laughing and were all more than happy to show him a few things. When the Beginner Guitar Group with Joe Fischetti was formed Scott joined them on Sundays to jam, learn new songs and have fun.

How could I not join in?

I could not have created a better a group to learn guitar. We have fun, we laugh and we LEARN! For someone who has a guitar that they, “mess around with” or anyone who says, “ah, no I mean I know a few chords but I don’t play,” then this is the group for you! Even the more experienced players are growing learning lead guitar, some music theory and just trying out new music; often time their own originals.

I always look forward to this group and couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone who has ever, “wished I could play like that.”
