Beginning Guitar - "Guitar from Scratch"
Do you want to learn to play the guitar? In a fun and relaxed atmosphere we will learn basic picking and strumming techniques, how to read and play notes and chords, and some basic songs. Previous knowledge of music is not required. We'll start from scratch and have you playing music in no time. Students must provide their own acoustic or electric guitar and prior to first class please purchase Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1 (2nd Edition), by Will Schmid. This class must be taken before advancing to Guitar II (Advanced Guitar).
Note: Class dates are Oct 7-Nov 11 ( 5 sessions). The catalog dates listed are incorrect (Sept. 7-Nov 11)
