Calendar Next available session starts Feb 18, 2025 at 6:30 pm

In just a few hours, you can learn enough about playing the guitar to give you years of musical enjoyment, and you won’t have to take private lessons to do it.  This crash course will teach you some basic chords and get you playing along with your favorite songs right away. Since this class is being held online with ZOOM you will be able to sit at home with your guitar and take this class without any pressure at all. And since the class includes an online book and online follow-up video lessons, you will be able to continue your practice and study on your own.  An optional periodic online question and answer session is included. A recording of the class is included as well.  Class limited to 15 students. For ages 13+.
