Meeting #16 will be Saturday April 1, 2017 at 11:00am at Taxco Mexican Grill [Mint Hill location], 7106 Brighton Park Dr., Mint Hill, NC.  This is not an April Fools joke.  It's across the parking lot from the Harris Teeter.  We will continue having a monthly meeting on the first Saturday of each month.

Our purpose is to help members build and play the 12-bar Blues on their 3-string, fret-less, electric, box guitars.  We currently have 18 on our email list.

Bring a few of your projects for show and tell.  We'll again try a sing and jam of our "Counting Song" for a basic 12-bar slow blues in the key of "G".  We will simply count the beat out loud, 1 2 3 4, as we play.  A very basic beginner will be able to participate.  This will be a very simple but extremely valuable counting and timing exercise for all levels.  Playing as little as you want or as much as you're able will work fine for everyone.  Everyone bring a guitar & amp or other instrument.

I will have the updated Cigar Box Guitar Plans & Specifications printed half scale on a 24"x18" sheet for $13.

We will discuss guitar effects pedals will have a pedal board to demo several pedals.
