Play Along With Sean
Sean O'Connor & Jim Beardman are at it again! This time it's a unique duet of "Invention No. 8" by J.S. Bach featuring classical and electric guitar.

The video starts off with the complete duet, followed by each individual part for those who want to practice the parts separately (or just need a virtual duet partner).

Guitars4Vets
The Sacramento Guitar Society has partnered with another nonprofit organization, Guitars4Vets, to help our Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) achieve healing thru the power of music.

Thanks to a grant from the California Art Council, we are able to extend the private guitar lessons they receive from Guitars4Vets by an additional 10 weeks. But these grants require matching donations from our community. Read more here and donate for this GREAT cause.
