Students will learn songs they like and want to learn to play. They will build their knowledge of guitar chords and all the different forms. 
We will do some music theory as it applies to things we are working on. 
Students will become proficient in reading chord diagrams and guitar tablature. 
Once the student has a good handle on the guitar tablature, they will be introduced to standard musical notation.
