REDEMPTION SONG (Bob Marley)
ROLLING IN THE DEEP (Adele)
SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD (The Eagles)
RESPECT (Aretha Franklin)
FREE FALLIN’ (Tom Petty)

We’ll have charts and cheat-sheets at the event, plus a booklet with full charts and lyrics for Seven Bridges Road and Redemption Song courtesy of the Hal Leonard publishing company, from the #1 Amazon Best Seller guitar book “[NYC Guitar School Book 1: A Step-By-Step and Song-By-Song Guide for Absolute Beginners.](https://a.co/d/3uzrjaC)” You can also scroll down for chart, tutorial & practice resources linked below.

STEP THREE: Show up to Union Square Park South by the steps on Wednesday, June 21st anytime starting at 4:30pm to practice, & then to play en masse at 6:30pm! There will be room for about 100 people on the steps…you can also bring your own chair or guitar strap to play standing up.

Check in at the welcome table near the steps to pick up song charts & enter a drawing for prizes like 3 months of guitar classes, T-shirts, & more.

Come early because we will have 20 guitar teacher volunteers giving free fifteen minute mini-lessons from 4:30pm – 6:30pm. Use that lesson to learn the very basics of guitar-or to work on a song.

Bring your guitar, uke or other instrument. Electric guitarists & bassists are welcome to bring battery powered amps (no supplied power is available.)

Bring water, sunscreen, a hat or whatever it takes to be comfy. Keep in mind that Union Square is a crowded urban park-we recommend gig bags with name tags to avoid confusion.

**RESOURCES:**
If you’re available, sign up for one of the free practice sessions which will take place the week before the event (check back to this meetup to sign up.)
