Over the course of four weeks, you’ll learn at least three basic chords and strum patterns used throughout popular music. You’ll develop good practice habits and a strong foundation for playing guitar with ease so you can enjoy your instrument for years to come! We’ll explore popular songs from the 20th century from folk to rock.
Skills Needed: For the total beginner! You can have never picked up a guitar before or know a few simple chords. Masks may be required at teacher’s discretion.
What to Bring: Please bring a working, six-string guitar, tuner, and a device for recording and/or taking video. You’ll receive PDF handouts and chord charts for practice. If you do not yet have a guitar, ask about our affordable rental program! We’re also happy to guide you through the process of purchasing a guitar and finding the right one for you.
