Google Plus (or Google+), is Google’s social network that allows users to create profiles, share content, and even hangout with each other.  I’m going to start weekly free guitar lessons via Google Hangouts (a feature of Google+), starting this week!  The only downside is that only 10 people at a time can participate, but if you haven’t tried it already, it’s really a lot of fun - and a great format for allowing people to learn a skill together (like guitar). 

The first thing you ‘ll need to do is go to the ActiveMelody Google+ Page by going here.  If you aren’t already signed into Google you’ll need to do so now by clicking on the blue button in the top right corner that says, “Join Google+ to add this page to a circle”.  You’ll then be able to either login using your current Google account (the same login as Gmail if you use Gmail).  If you don’t have a Google account yet, no worries, it’s 100% free and super easy to sign up.  You’ll need to click the “Create an Account” link in the top right corner.

Once you add ActiveMelody to your circles, you’ll be able to see any content that I update via my page on Google+ and in addition, I’ll add you to my circles - so that every time I do a live guitar class.. you’ll be notified.  Hopefully that makes sense to everyone.

To join the free online guitar class this Friday (November 11) at 9:00 CST, just make sure you have a webcam on your computer and a guitar with you - and go to the Activemelody Google+ page and you’ll see an option to “Join the Hangout” - just remember to add ActiveMelody to your circles.  Feel free to stop by and hangout with us!
