No previous experience required as we will cover everything needed to enjoy learning guitar in this beginner class. Each week we will do the following: - How to hold and sit with the guitar. - The basics parts of the instrument. - Rhythm practice. How to Count & Strum Rhythms: - We start by learning the very basics, and foundational so students can truly enjoy playing songs. How to Read Guitar Tablature: - Guitar is unlike all other instruments, in that it has its very own sheet music. Tablature or "TAB" (as we refer to it) is a very simple and straight forward way to read and write music on guitar. Students will learn in their first lesson how read guitar tablature with very easy introductory practice. How to Hold & Use a Guitar Pick: - Guitar plectrums or (Guitar Pick for short) are crucial to playing different styles of music on guitar. Students will learn how to hold the pick, how to strum with it, and how to pick individual notes. How to Fret Notes: - Fretting a note on the guitar has a lot to do with your entire posture and positioning of your arms, wrist, and the guitar itself.

Parental Guidance
- It's best to get your learner into the habit of daily guitar practice.
- The duration of the daily practice doesn't have to be long but the consistency is what will make learning guitar as easy and as the most fun possible.
- Please connect to the meeting on time.
Connection/join attempts after 5 minutes I can't allow as it interrupts the lesson and class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional musician, I write, compose, perform, and produce music.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, piano, drums, bass, singing) and I love it, it's my obsession and my passion.
I have over 6 years of experiencing teaching music to all ages, group and private lessons. Through my experience I have learned fun and enjoyable ways to learn and teach guitar that keeps students interested and excited. I've built my own philosophical approach to teaching that has proven to be highly effective over the years.
The guitar has brought me endless focus, joy, and discipline my entire life. I enjoy teaching those who want to learn and find it highly rewarding to see new guitarists go from not being able to play to strumming and plucking songs in a matter of weeks. I teach standard 6 string guitar in E Standard as well as 3 string guitar to younger students.
