Introduction to Guitar Playing   

Have you ever wanted to learn to play the guitar or improve your guitar playing skills? Did you take guitar lessons once but stop playing, intending to pick it up again someday? Then this guitar course may be for you. Students will be introduced to the most common chords and a variety of playing techniques. In a few weeks, they will learn the skills to begin to create pleasing guitar music. Sessions will consist of lectures and demonstration followed by group practice. Students will have the opportunity to practice individually with guidance from the instructor. Participants should spend some time outside class reviewing and practicing the skills introduced during each session. 

NOTE: Students must provide their own guitars. A music stand, guitar tuner, capo and picks would be helpful. There is no class on Monday, Jan. 19.
