Dear GFA member,

You are cordially invited to join fellow scholars of the guitar for an informal two-hour get together online. The next meeting is the second to feature the contributors to the latest issue of Soundboard Scholar, the GFA’s peer-reviewed journal of guitar studies. The presentations will be accessible to all attendees: it is not necessary to have read the articles to enjoy the meeting, and attendees are free to join in the conversations or simply listen.
