私人/半私人吉他課程：初級：第 1 部分（星期一）

In this beginner guitar course,  we will meet once a week for five weeks.  We will start with the very basics of guitar and build our knowledge and skills along the way.  Once this course is completed, if more lessons are desired, we can schedule more at that time. 

Week 1:  We will learn the parts of the guitar, the names and numbers of the strings, how to tune the guitar multiple ways, and 1-3 chords, depending on the student’s progress and rate of learning.  
Weeks 2-4:  We will continue learning chords, practice strumming, and switching between chords. We will also practice playing songs together.  
Week 5:  In our final class, I will have the student have a song prepared to play on their own.  They can play whatever song they wish, as long as it is not offensive or vulgar.  They can sing the song as they play if they wish, but it is not required. 

This is a hands-on class, so please have your guitar ready!  I will play along with my students and show them up close to the camera where each finger goes on the fretboard and strings.  I try to help each student as much as possible and go at a pace where everyone can learn effectively.  My goal for every lesson is to have each student be encouraged - to try, to learn, to succeed, and to enjoy this beautiful instrument. 

No prior knowledge or experience is required for this class.  Let's dive in and learn together!
