We will use fun games and exercises to help us with the hard parts: like how to coordinate the right and left hand, change chords smoothly, have good pick control, and more. When playing is fun, it turns into something you want to do and not just a have-to-do. You don’t have to be an amazing musician to learn guitar. All you need is time, curiosity, and fun!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSkills Needed:\u003c\/b\u003e This workshop is for beginners and intermediate players. Having some guitar knowledge and experience will help you in this class. But if you don’t have any experience, I will make sure you get started on the right path and still be able to hang with the more seasoned players. The main goal is to come together and just play music.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat to Bring:\u003c\/b\u003e Please bring a working, six-string guitar.
