Beginning Guitar (Winter)
*This class runs from 1/12 through 3/2
This class covers a glossary of guitar features and parts; how to tune your guitar; brief instructions on changing 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.
We will contact you with more information about the class closer to the start date.
