This is an introductory course, but also serves the developing guitarist who is looking to improve their guitar chops. Starting with the basics, students will learn chords, scales, popular riffs, theory, strumming patterns, finger picking, bass lines, note reading, symbols and technical terms, rhythm, maintenance and ear training. The course is structured to teach students to be knowledgeable musicians and to enjoy the opportunity to play great, classic music. The Blues and contemporary songs are used throughout the course to aid in developing technique and facility on the guitar.
Students in guitar classes will need to obtain a guitar to use for the semester, as the school does not have a supply of guitars to rent out at this time. An appropriate sized acoustic guitar is recommended, but a classical style guitar will also work. I suggest .73 or .88 gauge guitar picks.
