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.
