Welcome to the Rochester Guitar Club!

♫ Welcome to The Rochester Guitar Club Online. This website lists information about monthly Guitar Club meetings, guitar music events in and around Rochester, New York, and other guitar related events that may be of interest to guitarists.

The Rochester Guitar Club was formed in October 2006 with a goal of providing a social nexus through which local guitar enthusiasts could meet other enthusiasts, keep in touch, trade and play songs, and in general explore the music and many aspects of the guitar.
Monthly meetings often feature a song circle in which members take a turn at playing an instrumental they might be working on, or there might be a presentation, a concert, or a workshop that focuses on a particular aspect of the guitar. We meet on the third Monday of each month. Meetings begin at 7:00 p.m., but please come early to meet with fellow members. Check our event calendar for specific dates and times. A minimum donation of $3 at the door per RGC meeting and $5 for an RGC presentation is suggested. RGC members are entitled to free admission. Other donation amounts with discounts for members may be requested for special events.
During the recent pandemic, RGC meetings were held on Zoom. Beginning June 21, 2021, we have resumed in-person meetings in Wesley Hall in the basement of Asbury Methodist Church at 1050 East Avenue. Vaccinations are required for participation. Those not fully vaccinated are asked to wear masks. Zoom participation will also be available beginning in August 2021. Watch for further details. See individual calendar entries for sign-on info.
During 2020 RGC suspended all dues and held all meetings on line, free to all. Now, we are, once again, asking everyone to help out with the expenses and help keep the RGC ball rolling. Please send dues ($20 a year: a bargain!!) to Rochester Guitar Club at Box 93331 Rochester NY 14692. A portal will soon be available on this site for convenient dues/contributions. We’ll mail your membership card; so make sure to include a return address.

RGC Membership is currently $20 per year for new membership and renewals. Check your membership card for renewal date.
