Improver Guitar Class

This class is for adults who have only been playing a short while.

What you’ll learn:

You’ll learn a selection of chords and strum patterns that can be used to play various tunes. As the weeks go on, we’ll look at adding some embellishments!

Level:

This course is open to those who have a played a little before. If you can play a few single notes and strum a chord or two, you are welcome to attend!

Guitarists who have been playing about a year or so can also benefit. There is always a range of abilities in a group setting and so learning material will always include an ‘easy’ option and a more challenging option.
