Assessment

Class Experience

Based on our popular live class for beginner guitarists, this Beginner Guitar Series moves through simple steps to help your learner become the best guitar player they can be! 

This is the perfect series for guitarists who have never held a guitar before and want simple instructions on what to practice to move forward on their guitar journey. Start at Part 1 and begin your journey through the levels.

Learning Goals

By the end of Week 4, dedicated students will be able to hold and tune their guitar, play a song on a single string, and strum the C and G7 chords.
