Whether you want to play solo guitar, accompany yourself singing, or play in a band, this beginner class is an excellent place to start! We'll take beginners through all of the fundamentals including tuning and the basics of the instrument, to more advanced chord changes and strum patterns. Over the weeks we'll apply what we've learned to songs we'll play as a group or individually.
