The best thing I ever did for my guitar playing was to start an accustic jam in my home town!
It lasted for five years and I got payed to play and jam with hundreds of players of various levels.
It was great for meeting people, Learning different styles and methods, And Learning different songs, Good for other things too like Timeing, How to emphasize chords, Different tunings, Meter, Nashville numbering... The list goes on.
All you have to do is find a bar that is willing to give you one night a week. And put the word out to the music stores They will do the advertising for you in hope of selling more stuff.
PM me for more details>
