I thought i might create a Canberra based group for those in ACT/Canberra and greater NSW to join (and open to anyone else) and share knowledge and resources specific the the local area.

As I am just starting out myself, I'll certainly try to make the most of it ;)

Regards

I'd be interested in attending jams in and around Canberra, but don't know where to find them. Perhaps we could start our own? :)

JimBobRascal says: 5/4/2011 10:24:35 PM Hey Geekmason, Yeah, I've checked it out a few times. I've never found anything pertaining to Canberra on there, though. Also, it makes my eyes bleed. :)
	Geekmason says: 5/4/2011 11:05:38 PM You're right, I'm partially colour blind and still find it sensory overload ;)

	Geekmason says: 5/5/2011 5:55:50 AM If there are I'd like to check them out. I love irish tunes. So hooked on Maid behind the bar right now.

	Geekmason says: 5/6/2011 1:21:57 AM I'll do a separate blog entry about some online resources i have found. I also bought a Mel Bay tenor tutor book today for $4 off ebay :)
