Guitar for Songwriters, Level 1 & Level 2 - SUMMER 2019 Thursdays Starting 7/25; FREE GUITAR EVENT TH 7/18, 8pm

$ 299.00

Have you owned a guitar for years but have only a passing acquaintance with it? Maybe you learned a few chords but never went forward? Or perhaps you have just started to teach yourself and would like the guidance of a gifted teacher and the encouragement and inspiration of a group setting? Don't just learn guitar. Learn to play guitar in the context of the songs you love and the songs you'll write. Enter Guitar for Songwriters, Levels 1 & 2.

WHAT LEVEL IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Level 1 is designed for a beginning player. That can be you if you are a total beginner, or it can be you if you know a few chords but can't confidently change in time, play in time, have more than one or two strumming or picking patterns, or just generally want to build a sturdy foundation as a player. Level 1 will take you there, building dexterity and ergonomics in left and right hand technique, expanding your chord vocabulary and understanding the basic function of chords in diatonic harmony, broaden your palette for picking and strumming techniques, introduce fingerstyle playing, and give you writing assignments to put it to use--all the way to barre chords, where Level 2 picks up.

Level 2 will build on the left and right hand dexterity and vastly expand your chord vocabulary, adding tensions and extensions to chords, teaching you voicings up and down the entire neck, further expanding picking and strumming styles, and introducing concepts of riff writing and soloing.

Already have a handle on that? You are likely a candidate for Level 3, next offered FALL 2019. In the meantime, PRIVATE LESSONS can be a way to address your growth and can be tailored to your needs and your songs and their arrangements.
