Join me for an 8 week semester-long FLEX Guitar Class for the absolute beginner, where I will take students through fun and simple exercises, chords, TAB songs, reading chord charts, and more. Your learner will have a blast developing their new guitar skills! N O T E : This is a Flexible Schedule class, so there are no scheduled live meetings. Students work on their own schedule from videos and resources that I post every Monday. Each week I will post a video lesson, walking students through new skills and techniques on guitar, just as if they were attending a class live. Learners will also receive play along videos for songs and exercises to help them with their practice throughout the week. What will they learn? 🌟 Parts of the guitar + how to hold it 🌟 Chords: G, C, Am, F (1 finger and 2 finger versions) 🌟 Fun songs, using beginner friendly chords 🌟 How to read and play basic TAB songs 🌟 Strumming on basic rhythms 🌟 Fun simple exercises to strengthen finger independence 🌟 Beginner version of a Minor Pentatonic Scale What will a lesson video include? ❣️ Review from last class ❣️ Warm up Exercise ❣️ New TAB Song ❣️ Chord Review ❣️ New Chord Song ❣️ Review of days class What else is posted each week? 🌼 Play along videos for every song 🌼 Play along videos for every exercise 🌼 Slides from class to help students practice All lesson videos will include engaging slides, to help students understand what they are learning on the guitar, as well as opportunities to film themselves performing songs for me and other students in the classroom if they are interested. This is completely optional but is a fun way for students to show off what they have been learning in class! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - L E S S O N P L A N : Week 1: The basics: Guitar anatomy, string names, finger numbers Fretting exercise, basic strumming, 1 Finger chords: G, C Songs: Row Row Row Your Boat, Marry Had A Little Lamb Week 2: Review + new exercises How to read TAB, TAB exercises, TAB Song: 7 Nation Army Chord Song: Skip to my Lou Week 3: Review + new exercises TAB Song: Smoke on the Water New Chord: Am (2 fingers) Chord Song: Lips Are Movin' Week 4: Review + new exercises TAB Song: Iron Man 8th Note Strumming Chord Song: Shake It Off PERMORMANCE VIDEOS Week 5: Review + new exercises TAB Song: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star New Chord: F (2 fingers) Chord Song: She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain, You Are My Sunshine Week 6: Review + new exercises TAB Song: Marry Had a Little Lamb Chord Song: Someone to Lava New Chord: G (2 fingers), C (2 fingers) Chord Song: Let It Be Week 7: Review + new exercises TAB Song: London Bridge Chord Song: Ho Hey Week 8: Review + new exercises Island Strum: D DU UDU Chord Song: Riptide PERFORMANCE VIDEOS
