band) will assist members of the audience in figuring out how to approach
problem licks and riffs. In order to participate, club members desiring
panel assistance must provide either a CD or MP3 copy of the music in
question or be able to perform it on guitar or another instrument

attempted rhythm, etc. A "spare" guitar will be provided by the club.
