Guidance for playing in venues

Madison Heights MI

Description

I need help learning what steps to take or who I need to contact before I can play music at live venues I have been self-teaching myself the guitar since June of last year. In an effort to be less introverted, I'd like to take my skills to a public setting and play at venues for pay or free. I would like to play a guitar role where singing is not required If anyone here is able to provide guidance on who to contact (guitar teachers, and/or music communities that could lead directly to gigs), I can provide compensation on venmo or paypal. This is my first post on Craigslist.
