Take your guitar on a cinematic journey to a galaxy far, far away, wizarding school, middle earth and beyond! Each week, we'll learn a classic movie theme on the guitar. I've created simplified arrangements in bite-sized pieces, so learners of any level can get a handle on the tunes. This class is learner-directed, so requests to learn specific themes are welcome! We'll start by going over how to read guitar tabs and finger notes clearly. Then we'll take the theme one phrase at a time, putting it all together at the end. Through the process, I'll provide tips on how to transition between the fingering positions, and the best formation options in a given situation. The keys of the themes have a bit of variety, so we'll cover different areas of the fretboard from week to week. Since a new song will be taught in a similar way each week, students are welcome to join any time. This class is appropriate for both acoustic and electric guitar. A handout will be provided for each theme with the guitar tabs. I'll also send two recordings of me playing the songs, one slower and one at full tempo, to practice along to at home after the class. This is a hands-on workshop, so students should arrive with their guitar tuned up and ready to go. I'll have my guitar as well, and be leading the group at a nice, gentle pace. Learners should have a basic knowledge of notes work, and have experience playing at least a couple of simple tunes. Examples of themes we'll cover in class: Star Wars Harry Potter Lord of the Rings Princess Bride Marvel

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I've been playing the guitar since I was 11 years old and I'm still as excited to pick up my guitar every day now as I was then.
My brother and I have a band playing songs we write about the Harry Potter stories, which has led to the opportunity to tour the country multiple times playing at hundreds of libraries and other all-ages community venues. While doing that, I've continued writing and releasing solo music, including an album of songs I wrote about Star Wars!
I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm with you and taking your playing and knowledge to the next level, whether you're just beginning or you have some skills and are ready to learn some new tricks.Reviews
