Join me for an 8 week semester-long guitar course, for the absolute beginner, where I will take students through fun and simple exercises, chords, TAB songs, reading chord charts, and more.  Your learner will have a blast developing their new guitar skills! 

In addition to our weekly group lessons, learners will receive play along videos for songs and exercises to help them with their practice throughout the week.
