Class experience
This class is for beginners who've never played before. Classical, acoustic or electric welcome. We're learning basic chords, transitioning, and strumming as a foundation for future, more advanced guitar skills. Every session comes with a slideshow and/or videos for reference and additional practice. NOTE: For a 4 day, one week camp, many learners borrow a guitar to see if they have interest in guitar before buying. This is always a low-risk option, and is a nice way to test learner interest...

In addition to the Outschool classroom, you will need a way to tune the guitar. You may choose to purchase an electronic tuner or utilize a tuning app for iPhone or Android. I use Guitar Tuna. You'll need to give your child parental consent to use this app or you may choose to tune the guitar using the app yourselves.
