You should try a Jam night, scary stuff at first but everybody just wants to help each other really.

where about in N yorks.

Re: Guitarists..North Yorkshire UK?.....

It's a bit daunting but find out where your local folk club is and pop in there on a singers night when anyone can get up and have a go.  There are loads of these little clubs all over Yorkshire and the dales, my local one is Skipton, and the regulars are always friendly and welcoming.

Go without your guitar for the first few visits until you get a feel for the place (it took me about 5 weeks to pluck up the courage to actually take mine along) and then give it a go.  It's a huge buzz when you finally do it and you can hardly wait to improve and go again.  The main point of my rambling message is that while there you can meet up with all sorts of people who may be looking to form musical partnerships or who would be happy just to informally pass on loads of good advice.

Cheers
