Saturday, the 22nd, we got together and had another Adult Jam. It was a lot of fun. I want to thank Colin and Heidi Blair for hosting it. I also want to thank everyone that showed up and played guitar. We played Beatles songs, some CCR , some Poison and even a Monkees song!

Years ago I realized that my adult students don't always have an outlet to play guitar. Sometimes , as they are learning, even their families don't want to listen to it. They can be shy performing for non-playing friends. But when you get a bunch of beginners together, great things can happen.
It helps them practice in a live situation; there are no do-overs , you have to keep going. You get to see how well you've progressed and what you need to learn. You also can pick up tips from others, see how they play things , and help fellow beginners.
We'll hold more this summer. In fact we are starting to think about a big one in September. I'll post more information later.
