Description
This course is designed for complete beginners or those looking to refresh the fundamentals. You'll learn how to tune your guitar, understand the parts of the instrument, and become familiar with common first-position (open) chord shapes, including major, minor, and seventh chords. You'll develop basic strumming techniques using both a pick and your fingers while building rhythm and timing skills through simple songs and exercises. Along the way, you'll be introduced to basic music theory to help you understand how chords are built and how they work together. Classes are taught in a welcoming, supportive, and encouraging environment where participants can learn at their own pace, build confidence, and enjoy making music.
