Have you ever wanted to play the guitar – either electric or acoustic? Learn common chords and chord progressions to play many popular/classic songs in many genres, plus strumming patterns, how to read guitar tablature and chord diagrams, basic guitar maintenance, changing strings, and much more! Besides group practice you’ll use online YouTube “play-alongs” on various songs both in class and as homework. You’ll also learn proper posture, how to warm-up your hands and fingers, and basic dexterity exercises. We use a tried and true method to learn the guitar, and will get you playing your first song on day one! You must bring your own acoustic or electric guitar, guitar tuner, picks, a music stand, a foot rest, and a guitar stand. For electric guitars, bring a small amplifier (a Spark Go or Spark Mini amplifier is great for class and for learning songs). A course book will be provided. If you have questions: Text Kurt Frohlich at (775) 742-6834, or email at kfrohlich@live.com; or David Allison at (775) 771-1361 or email davidallisonesq@gmail.com.
