Introductory Foundations in Guitar

Fundamentals of plectrum and fingerstyle guitar. Highly recommended for students interested in learning the basics in electric, steel string acoustic and nylon string guitar performance. This class serves as a foundation for the techniques, terminology and musical vocabulary that will assist any beginning or self-taught guitarist in developing a sustainable, lifelong relationship with the instrument. We will work in a group lessons format to discover healthy approaches to technique, as well as the basic chord shapes, scales, strumming and finger-picking patterns that form the foundation of guitar
performance across a variety of styles. Students can expect to learn song structures, 'riffs', and chord progressions in a number of genres and from a wide selection of musical eras. Open to complete beginners, or to self-taught players who would like to build a solid foundation to supplement their personal practice from the ground up.
