This class is for intermediate beginners who already know a few chords or scales but want to take their guitar playing to the next step. If you’ve ever felt stuck playing the same patterns or struggled to make your music sound expressive, this class will help you move forward. You’ll work on technique and theory together, focusing on how to use chord shapes, scales, and rhythm in a way that makes your playing more musical. The goal is to give you practical skills you can actually use when you pick up your guitar, not just abstract ideas. Please bring your own acoustic or electric guitar and a pick. Electric guitar players should also bring an amp and cords.
