Whether you’ve just picked up a guitar or want to build a solid foundation, this course is the perfect place to start. You’ll learn the essentials of playing guitar, including how to hold your instrument, pick and strum with confidence, and play basic chords. In the first two classes, you’ll focus on picking and strumming techniques along with a few must-know chords. Then, you’ll explore the basics of music theory to better understand how songs are built. In the final two classes, you’ll learn how to read simple music notation—giving you the tools to continue learning long after the course ends. You’ll need to bring your own guitar and an extra set of strings. The same instruction is offered at each session, so you can choose the time that works best for you. Let’s get started and make some music!
