Nov 10: Around the Campfire: 5 More Beatles Songs to Sing and Play with Friends (Level 2) with Chris Haugen

Tuesday, Nov 10, 2026

6:30pm – 8:30pm

Dusty Strings 3406 Fremont Ave N

Maximum Enrollment: 10

Registration & Refund Deadline: Friday, November 6, 2026

Gather around for five more Beatles songs — this time going a step past open chords. We'll dig into the songs that made people pick up a guitar in the first place: descending bass lines, fingerpicking patterns, and the chord moves that give this catalog its particular pull.

Whether you took the Level 1 class or are coming in fresh, this workshop is about making music together. We'll work on rhythm guitar, moveable chord shapes, picking-hand patterns, and singing while you play — plus how these songs hold up around a fire with one guitar instead of four. Chord sheets and tab will be provided ahead of class for those who like to come prepared.

Songs will include: “Dear Prudence,” “Help!,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Something,” “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”

Skills Needed: Comfortable with open position chords and basic barre chords (F, Bm). Some fingerpicking experience helpful but not required.

What to Bring: Guitar, tuner, and capo

Teacher: Chris Haugen is a nationally recognized guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. With years of experience recording and performing popular and folk styles, Chris helps beginner to advanced guitarists build skills on guitar, slide guitar, lap steel, Weissenborn, and more.

As a teacher, Chris encourages students to learn the music they want to play. "Music is a lifetime of learning and enjoyment, self-expression, and imagination," he says. "It's jamming with friends, time to unwind, and beach bonfires." Chris is equally at home working with both acoustic and electric guitar students.

Chris's recent release "Lakeside Sessions", recorded in his studio on Lake Washington, has over 1.2M streams and was selected FYC 2024 Grammy awards. From Classic Rock to Khruangbin, Beatles to Beck, Grateful Dead to Radiohead, Chris draws from a deep wellspring of inspiration.
