YDL-Michigan
229 W Michigan Avenue Ypsilanti MIJoin our long-running YDL Guitar Club to practice your skills, learn new songs, and play in a group!
Other stringed instruments are welcome, and singing is encouraged, but emphasis is on the guitar. Beginners may want to listen and observe for a session to see if our group is a good fit. No experience with proper sheet music is necessary, but we do often use basic tabs and chord notations.
Each person is invited to bring a song to share -- a cover tune that is relatively easy for everyone to work with.
