Beginning Guitar

* No class on April 22.

This class will cover a glossary of guitar features and parts; how to put your guitar in tune; brief instructions on how to change strings; first position major and minor chords; correct, strain-free left and right-hand positioning technique; and finger and plectrum picking techniques. We will learn popular songs, and play as a group in the later classes as everyone becomes proficient. Includes many handouts and musical material (in tablature).

For course-specific questions, please contact instructor Al Bowers at al.bowers@verizon.net.

Classes are now being held at Winchester Thurston in Shadyside.
