Class Description

Description

If you know your basic chords like D, G, Em, C, D7, Am, C, A and E, but would like to be able to play entire songs with confidence--and mixed strums--then this is the class for you! You will become comfortable changing between these chords while using mixed strumming patterns, including the incredibly delicious sounding, ubiquitous and useful “basic strum” and “best strum" in the context of inspiring songs by artists like Adele, Bill Withers, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran and more.

 

Here's how it works:

1. Come to class weekly to learn songs and skills and get encouragement and feedback from your teacher. The course topics cycle every 8 weeks or so, so you can start anytime.

2. Practice at home using the included video practice library. Start each session with the Beginner Guitar 2 warm-up video to reinforce fundamentals and maximize your progress!

3. The secret to success is remembering what you want--so review the Beginner Guitar 2 Class Graduation Video frequently, and play along with as many stops and pauses as you need. First you may be confused. Then you may be challenged. Finally, you will crush it! When you do, you're ready for the next class level.

 

Most students graduate from this class after about 8 sessions. But faster or slower is OK! 

Prerequisites:

You have completed Beginners 1 or are comfortable with basic open chords and can play along with the graduation video for the Beginner 1 level class.


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.
