Beginners Guitar Course

Beginner's Course Outline:

• Tuning the Guitar

• How to read Chord Diagrams

• Basic Strumming Patterns

• Basic Finger Picking

• Applying the Techniques to the 9 Course Songs

• Ensemble Playing (Jamming!)

• Barre Chords - An Introduction

• Easy Music Theory

How the classes work:

Pete teaches you in a very relaxed, fun-filled group environment. The aim of the Beginner's course is to get you up and running as guitar players. Every technique you learn is applied to the 9 "case study" songs you learn on the course.

DVD and Audio CD support

All the techniques you learn in class are also demonstrated on the Course DVD (covers material from Level 1 to Level 3), so you can recap the techniques and theory when you get home. Having a visual reference and demonstration is an exceptionally powerful tool!

The audio CD has tracks for you to jam along to at home. We also use this CD in class when we jam as a group.
