Description of Levels
Total Beginner Class
If you’ve never even held a guitar or taken a music lesson but you’ve always wanted to learn to play the guitar then this is the class for you.
What you’ll learn: the basics of reading simple guitar notation (tablature, chord diagrams and rhythms), how to tune the guitar, how to cultivate good technique, chords, strum patterns, and easy songs that sound good and provide a strong foundation for future musical growth.
Level 1A and 1B Classes
Who is is class for? Anyone who already knows some chords, basic strum patterns and some easy songs but who still considers themselves very much beginners. Students coming into this class should be comfortable reading tablature, chord diagrams and strum patterns.
Beginner level classes have no barre chords and very little single note playing.
The goal in these classes is to build a repertoire of songs with open chords and easy strum patterns.
Intermediate level classes can have barre chords, embellishments, like hammer-ons and pull-offs, as well as single note melodies and moving bass.
Advanced level classes have even more going on. Stairway to Heaven is a good example of an advanced level class.
