To J1 Guitarists,
it has been confirmed that for TUESDAYS,
GRM - 413
MB - 414
BMT - 415
for WEDNESDAYS,
GRM - 411
MB - 412
BMT - 413
and practices for wednesdays will end at 4.30pm instead of 6pm for those in GRM, MB, or BMT. this is because the JC2s teaching you guys need to spend crucial time together to prepare for SYF.

General instructions:
1. On arrival at your respective rooms, please help each other out in setting up the furniture arrangement.
2. Before going off from CCA, please make sure that the room is back in its original state. Meaning all furniture back to its positions, and clear of any rubbish you left behind.
3. Please label your belongings, and put a keychain on your guitar bag to minimize confusion and loss.

Please check the post below for info on the NUS Guitar Ensemble concert. The date to hand in the money by is Tuesday 1 March to Marcus Loh the J1 Ensemble Coordinator.

Hope you guys learn well with your new instruments, and take good care of it. :)

hi J2 guitarists,
if you haven't shaped your fingernails, at least keep it long. as we get closer to the competition and SYF, tone is important too, and we will have a session to shape the nails. but tone will be perfected after we perfect the playing of the song itself. so please practice and perfect the SYF pieces. reduce buzzing, and keep on time. there is a metronome link at the sidebar if you need it ->

for those who have gone past the stage of trying to perfect the pieces, you can always google and see how to shape your nails. different people do it differently, but as long as it sounds good and is comfortable for you to play with, it should be okay.
