If you are a beginner with a year or less experience, bring your guitar and explore the fundamental and different technical approaches to playing.  This enjoyable and satisfying course not only covers all the basics of tuning, stringing and guitar maintenance, but gives you the musical tools and know-how to embark on your guitar journey with confidence!  Emphasis is placed on strumming and developing picking techniques; the use of guitar tablature and chord diagrams are also introduced, along with some music theory.  Popular songs, as well as folk, rock, blues and classical tunes, will be explored.
