Over the last few years I have met with three different players, people who needed practice or a bit of guidance or just experience in playing with someone else. One was a banjo player, another played guitar and the current one plays mandolin. The banjo player asked me to meet with him, and I made the suggestion to the other two. We meet/met once or twice a week for a couple of hours. This is all free of charge, of course, and I get a lot of fun out of seeing them become more proficient and more self-confident.I suggest you look around and find someone who has a lot of time available (as I do) and who enjoys playing anywhere, any time. Good luck.
