Beginner and Intermediate Guitar Lessons
Facilitated by Mike Bravener
Thursday (3:00 – Beginner, 2:00 – Intermediate) 1 hour each. September to May
You will learn all the basic chords and strumming patterns so that you can play 3 or more chord songs. I help you learn to play the songs you love to play. In the Intermediate class I build on that and teach Barre Chords and the little “riffs” that make your playing more interesting. I also teach basic scales at this level so you can learn to solo. ($90 for 6 weeks)
