Welcome
to The Long Island Fingerstyle Guitar Club. This
website lists information about our monthly meetings and guitar
music events on and around the Long Island , NY area that
may be of interest to our members. This website will be a way
to connect with other guitarists so that you can learn and
grow in the art of acoustic guitar playing.
The Long Island Guitar Club was formed in February 2008
with a goal of providing a forum where fingerstyle guitarists
can become part of a community to network, trade and play songs,
and to learn more about the acoustic guitar. The club is for players
of all levels .
Monthly meetings will start off with a presenter and there will
be either a concert, or a workshop that focuses on a particular
aspect of the guitar.
After the presentation the group will have break out sessions.
Each group will divide up according to skill level to form
a song circle in which members take turns at playing an instrumental
they might be working on. Players of all skills are invited to bring
their guitars and share their skills, stories and tips with
your fellow players ( you do not have to play if you are not comfortable).
The music from the meeting will be posted on our website so that
you can learn at home. There will be challenging music posted
for the upcoming meetings.
Meeting are held once a month at the Westbury Friends Meeting
House, 550 Post Ave. in Westbury, NY (please check calendar for
dates and times). You can also sign up on our e-mail list to keep
posted on upcoming meetings and events. Doors open at 6:30pm and
meetings start promptly at 7:00pm.
