Our next AFG event will feature our music director Donovan Raitt and another one of his great educational seminars - this time more Latin guitar! Please visit Donovan’s web site at www.donovanraitt.com/about to read his biography and to discover his new CD.

Attend the AFG event earlier in the day to get on the Fret House Open Mic list early! The official Fret House open mic is the oldest continuous open mic in southern California. AFG is all about learning and sharing. The event will begin at 2:30pm this time with a full hour of one on one guitar technique presentations. We can learn from each other. So bring your guitar. We will close the event with a performance circle for those who wish to share the guitar music that they have been working on.

As announced by AFG president Greg Atkin recently, the AFG will alternate bi-monthly meetings between the venues of Fullerton Music, The Fret House in Covina and other locations. Check back here for details about our upcoming August meeting (pictured above is Fret House repair department).

Music Lessons, Demos and Sharing of Fingerstyle Secrets

Donovan Raitt music lesson

Saturday, April 13, 2013 Meeting at Mo's - Latin Fingerstyle! - Our April meeting at Mo's Fullerton Music was a great success with a wonderful turn-out of players from beginners to many fingerstyle pros. Our new music director Donovan Raitt gave a wonderful introductory lesson to Latin Bossa Nova, and many members performed and shared techniques. Fullerton Music owner Roger raffled t-shirts and guitar strings, and Terry Bailey and Ric Ickard provided their new CD, "I Heart Chet and Les" for the raffle. AFG is all about learning and sharing.
