Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this guitar class:

Absolute and Total Beginners start here! Starting from zero, learn basic chords like D, G, Em, C, D7, Am, C, A and E, with super broken down step-by-step explanations of chord diagrams, strings and fingers--and real songs by artists like John Legend, Sublime, Taylor Swift, Coldplay and more.

Yes, you really can and will learn to play guitar in this class!

Here's how it works:

1) Attend class weekly. In every class you'll connect with your classmates, practice new skills step by step, and learn a new and fun song. Guitars are provided in NYC! (Need to miss a session? No problem--make it up with another group session for free or a discounted private lesson.) 

2) Practice is easy with comprehensive video tutorials, including this simple 2-minute Level 1 warm-up video.

3) Graduate. Your teacher will let you know when you're ready to move to Level 2—or you can record a video of yourself playing along with that graduation video. Send it to [email protected] so that the NYC Guitar School team can declare a day of celebration and place you in your next class.)

Most absolute beginner students feel ready for the next level after 6-8 sessions. But faster or slower is OK! You do you!

Prerequisites:
None! Just bring your desire to rock!


Please note with this purchase you will receive a full 3-month membership which entitles you to scheduling as many available dates as you'd like for your selected course, including access to online classes.

Refund Policy

Note: This provider has a temporary cancellation policy for COVID-19 related cancellations which is as follows:

If a student drops from their class at least 48 hours prior to the start date, we can issue a full refund or save the credit for a later date. 

----

Original cancellation policy (non-COVID-19):

You can withdraw from a class at any time after it begins by notifying us for a one hundred percent credit (not a refund) for future sessions which are scheduled after your drop date. You can use that credit towards any other class session. Please note that you can't get credit for sessions which ran before you contacted us, so call early.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
