Once a month, except in December, the society hosts an open mic at which guitarists of all ages and abilities try out their latest efforts in a welcoming atmosphere. You can perform or just enjoy the music. It is free of charge. We meet from 7 to 9 pm at San Jose's Vineland Library at 1450 Blossom Hill Road.
Lately we have been recording the open mic performances and, if the guitarist agrees, posting them on our YouTube and Facebook pages and on Instagram. Check out examples:
SBGS YouTube Open Mic page. The host for
the May open mic is Kenny Hill of the Hill Guitar Company.
Please join us on Tuesday, May 28.
