In this class, you will mix and match E and A form barre chords over the entire fretboard, and you will deepen your understanding of essential chord progressions.
This is the final course in our Beginners series. After this class, you are very ready for ensembles, rock bands, lead guitar, and much more in the vast world of guitar.
Most students graduate from this class after 6-8 sessions. But faster or slower is OK!
To be confident about what class level is right for you, try playing along with the class graduation videos. If you can play along with the previous graduation video but not with the graduation video for this class, then you're in the right place!
Before your first class, try playing along with the warm-up video, which you will do in every class--there are 9 warm-ups, so be sure to select the correct level. Don't worry about fully understanding or mastering everything; just get used to it. (To maximize your progress, use this video as a warm-up every time you practice at home, too!)
If you are able to pass the graduation video, check out our next class in the series!
