Guitar Player Do-Over
Hopefully wherever you are the snow is beginning to thaw and there are signs of spring. Here at JamPlay, this seasonal transition is making us think a lot about fresh starts. So many guitar players tell us that they haven’t played in awhile and are now coming back, looking for a bit of a do-over. And hey, we’re totally here for it!
In fact, we’re dedicating this entire month to Guitar Player Do-Overs. Come back to guitar, revisit the basics, try a new music genre, or learn a new skill. It’s a great time for a fresh start! Let us help you pick up wherever you left off to become the best guitar player you can be.
