Once Students learned the basics of playing this instrument, we can move forward to learning more chords, strumming and adding more songs! Week 1 - Review of first 3 basic chords and beginners repertoire revisit. Week 2 - Learning basic strumming and adding a new song to our repertoire Week 3 - Learn basic Minor chords Week 4 - Learn new songs with new chord additions Week 5 - Learning new strumming patterns Week 6 - Practice new strumming on a preferred song Week 7 - Intro to reggae Week 8 - Final Song Covering of these topics will be dictated on the weekly learner's improvement and advancement. The class is designed for students to learn what they need for our lesson and spend the rest of the time to complete the hour to practice what we learned during our meeting. Basic experience with the instrument is necessary as well as the will and motivation to keep up with the practice.
