Description: Have you tried to learn guitar and found it to be an uphill battle, never quite establishing a foothold? Or, is there some aspect of guitar playing that is a mystery that you cannot crack? In this class we will cover the basics of playing the guitar. In addition to guitar-specific techniques, we'll discuss how to learn any song, and how to break-down the playing of a song into learnable pieces. We will discuss how to practice, and when. Instead of worrying about making a mistake, we'll focus on keeping the beat, playing with others, and having fun. We will play good, fun, recognizable songs starting at the 1st lesson.

Prerequisites: None, though backgound in other stringed instruments is a plus

What to Bring: A guitar, music stand, and tuner
