ADULT GROUP GUITAR CLASS

Learn Guitar in a Fun Group Setting

Join our 8 week beginner & intermediate guitar class led by our wonderful instructor, Casey Nielsen and Dave Cohen. In the classes, we focus on strumming songs using common open-position chords (i.e., G, C, minors, etc.) and learning pentatonic scales for blues improvisation.

Beginner Level: Designed for beginning guitarists. You’ll learn open-position chords, basic strumming patterns, and how to change chords smoothly while playing songs. The class will also cover guitar fundamentals such as tuning, practicing effectively, and playing both on your own and with other students.

Intermediate Level: Students already know the E minor pentatonic scale in open position and the E blues scale, and have become fluent in strumming songs using the chords C, G, D, D7, E minor, and A minor.
