Online (Zoom link sent prior to first class meeting)

Maximum Enrollment: 12

Registration & Refund Deadline: Wednesday, April 2

Learn guitar basics in this fun, self-paced online group guitar class! With a focus on singer-songwriters from the 70’s, you’ll learn at least four essential chords and a handful of strumming patterns needed to play hundreds of your favorite songs. You’ll receive personalized feedback and practice tips from Jonathan, as well as advice from Oste, Jonathan’s life-size human skeleton model, to discover how to play with minimal effort and maximum efficiency.

Skills Needed: None! As a self-paced course, you’ll work from an online booklet designed for total beginners and experienced players alike. Jonathan will teach and demonstrate core concepts in the weekly class meetings, answer questions, and give individual feedback and homework appropriate to your level.

What to Bring: A six-string guitar (acoustic or electric) and a strong internet connection. Classes will be conducted over Zoom and Jonathan will send a link before the first meeting. Medium to heavy gauge guitar picks are also recommended.

Teacher: Jonathan Shue believes everyone can sing and play an instrument, and that it’s never too late to learn! It’s all about breaking things down into small, manageable steps, defining specific goals, and developing a pathway toward achieving them. A teaching artist for more than twenty years, Jonathan has taught music and drama throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and at the University of Washington. He has produced plays, studio albums, concerts, and music events and is the former Education Director of Dusty Strings Music School, where he has taught guitar, songwriting, and voice since 2015.
