Introducing Fret Con

Hi, I am putting together a conference to grow a community of guitarist and bassist. I may need a speaker to present, or a musician to play for the event.

I am planning to bring seasoned vets, (gigging musicians) instructors, newbies of all ages and some retail vendors together for a fun day marketing, meeting and learning. Rev. Kenn Blanchard https://forms.gle/S7fL9Eu9PZQKB82R8

Something New

There are many new guitarist of all ages since the COVID 19 pandemic.  If you are interested in attending a conference in our area with vendors, instructors, music lovers and musicians of all levels, join me here as I build the community to help you grow, make money, learn faster, find a jam partner and friend. "Guitar is the best form of self-expression I know. Everything else, and I'm just sort of tripping around, trying to figure my way through life." Slash I am trying to help guitar/bass instructors, parents of guitarist and bassist, those of us that are rediscovering guitar/bass at a later stage in life in the Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland area.   "Music is life."   Playing the guitar is saving my life right now as I deal with caring for a bedridden spouse. I am putting together a conference of the guitar/bass playing community to help others connect with instructors, retail and new friends.
