If you’re looking for a Beginning guitar class that takes you beyond strumming campfire chords, you’ve found it! This class is for newcomers or any guitarist who wants to fill in the gaps and develop a solid foundation for making music on the guitar. What does “making music on the guitar” really mean? That depends on the individual. For you it may mean playing your favorite songs, or learning a new style of music. For others it may be learning to improvise or write music with the guitar. For me it ultimately means having the skills to truly express myself on the guitar. This class teaches students proper guitar techniques (including finger picking and strumming), how to read music, musicianship skills, how to practice and play with others. We have lots of fun and play a variety of folk and blues music. Bring your own guitar!
