Seeking less-skilled players to have fun and maybe improve together

Oakland CA

Description

I am looking for people who mostly just want to play songs and have fun. I have been playing guitar for a few years now, and, to be honest, I am not that great at it yet. I have been playing mostly alone and would love to play with others. I have been reading these postings and haven't answered anything because I am nowhere near ready to gig and record on a professional basis. I have been focusing on holding a rhythm and trying to teach myself how to sing. I don't have any preconceptions about what other instruments I am looking for. I just want to find a person or small group to get together regularly -- weekly or biweekly or so -- to work on some material together -- covers or originals or whatever. We could play outside with masks and distancing for now, and then move inside after we all get our shots. The songs I have been learning include: The Mountain Goats Guided by Voices Leonard Cohen The Replacements early REM Neko Case The National Low The Velvet Underground Cat Power and other stuff along those lines. I am plenty open to learning other material as well. Oh, and I am a 49-year-old man if that makes any difference to anybody.
