Thought it would be pretty hip to be able to chat with some of the members and/or instructors here. Is there any chance that GT will offer chat?

That sounds like a good idea. Is it possible?

Hey Silly and California,

I think that's a cool idea. Let's see if we can make that happen.

Meanwhile, I'll let you in on the insider news that there is a GT Women Group starting up on Facebook. Interested?

Definitely interested. I've visited there several times. We need to get the word out, so we can gather more members.

I run another site www.musicianwar.com that has an audio chat where you can both text chat and also take turns playing guitar (assuming the guitar is plugged into the computer) and everybody can hear you play.

Do you think that would be good here?

I dont have my guitar hooked up to the computer as of now...
still learning and plan to make some attempts with my new mac but I would totally be down for the text chat! I come here a lot and once I scan the boards I always wish there was a chat room to go to....I think it would be awesome!

I am in the process of relearning to play right-handed (I used to play left-handed, but I shattered my right hand and can no longer fret the notes), I'm not sure that anyone could stand to hear me play just yet. Maybe in the future. But I would definitely be interested in the text part. However, I'm sure that many of the GT members would definitely love it if that feature was added to the site.

Great idea, I'd love to see this happen.

It would be easier to set up a plain text chat than an audio chat.

It seems there is not a lot of interest in the audio portion. Is that true?

If so, I will just set up a text chat.

A GT chat (text) sounds like a great idea to me too.

Meanwhile, have you all joined the GuitarTricks.com Facebook Fan Page?
http://www.facebook.com/pages/GuitarTrickscom/93990407874?ref=mf

While not the same as a chat exactly, it is a place where you can get into some interesting and active conversations with other GT people. People are joining in droves!

And now there is also a Facebook group for GT Women, here:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=99180894189

Just two off-the-forum places to strike up a conversation with fellow GT'ers.

That sounds interesting. I will check that out.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
