Adult Jam 5-31-08

Hi, Everyone.
This last Saturday we held out last Adult Jam for the season. It was a small group, about 9 of us, but we had a lot of fun. We had Stray Cat Strut, Blowin' in the Wind, Ruth, Knocking on Heaven's Door, Hurt, the usual Stand By Me, Margaritaville. We had a couple of Johnny Cash songs that were a lot of fun and I gave an impromptu lesson on the Carter Lick, aka bass-brush strumming.

Here are the pictures from the Jam www.napervilleguitarlessons.com/photos.html . We're thinking about having a summer Outdoor Jam. I'll post information when I have it.

Keep playing guitar!

Adult Jam April 26th, 2008

Hey there. I just got back from another Adult Jam at Vocals And More. We had a great time. My wife Mary helped me a lot and took pictures which I'll post on my website soon.

We did the usual Stand By Me and Margaritaville. I sang a Steve Goodman song and a John Prine song. Several people got up and sang, like Mike, Marc, John, Cedrick, Eric. But I was real happy to see the new comers, Nate, Nancy, Justin and Nerender. We had Jim, Anne, Colin and Katie! 

It was really a lot of fun. We're going to try to have another one late May. I'll keep you posted!

Adult Jam April 2008

Hi, Everyone. We're going to do it again! Our next Adult Jam will be April 26th , at about 8:00 PM. At Vocals and More, 481 N. Commons Rd, Aurora IL. If you have questions please send me an email at tschaf@aol.com

As usual, this is for adult beginners only. No guitar heros or hot rods. If you show up and show off you can shove off! 

We will probably start with Stand By Me , then Margaritaville. I'll play a song or two and see who else would like to sing. 

I've got a couple of idea for some mini-lessons and, if everyone's in the mood, we'll try them out.

We always have a lot of fun so be there or be square!

thanks, Terry

Naperville Guitar Lessons Adult Jam

Hi there.

We had another great Adult Jam last Saturday, the 2nd. Everyone had a real good time. Several people sang songs, Anne and Karyn played and sang the Eagles How Long. Karyn did Heart of Gold. I can't remember all the songs everyone sang and played. 

We all did Stand By Me. I led the group in If You Needed Me, and The Last Thing On My Mind.  I showed everyone how to play Harvest Moon , including the introduction. Everyone figured it out. It was lots of fun.

Matt started our 12 bar blues jam with the intro to Pride And Joy, we then moved it into Sweet Home Chicago and then just one big blues jam. Fast and furious. OK, furious!

Here's the link to the photos.

Adult Jam

Hi there.

  On Saturday, February 2nd, we will be start our second season of Adult Jams. This is primarily for the benefit of my adult students , but everyone is welcome (no kids please). Most everyone is a beginner and still feeling their way around a guitar. You can bring your guitar and play along but, if you're more than a beginner,  you can't show off. (If you do we'll escort you over to Guitar Center and let you play with the 15 year olds! )

  We always start off with Stand By Me in G. Since it's getting close to Valentine's Day, I'll play a love song or two. Then, at any point, if someone wants to play a song for the group, they are welcome to  do so. No pressure, you don't even have to play if you don't feel like it. We just like getting together and playing some songs. 

  Location: Vocals and More , 481 N. Commons Rd, Suite 100, Aurora IL   640-851-3262

  Time:  7:00 PM to (officially) 9:00 ( or what ever )

  Thanks, hope to see you there!
