About this course

Ever wanted to learn guitar but don't know where to start? This course is aimed at adults who would like to begin their journey of learning the guitar, for those wanting to learn the basics, ready to keep building on into the future. 


Learners will cover everything from learning chords, left hand technique, strumming and finger picking, reading TAB/musical notation and ultimately playing along to well-known songs and pieces.  The course will move at a steady pace, helping learners to continue progressing throughout the duration of the course. Lessons will be focused on acoustic guitar technique; however, this can be transferred onto the electric guitar if desired.


Learners need to have tuned 6 string guitar ready for the first session. A plectrum would also be useful. Here is a useful link for how to tune your guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jTsSvkBv60 


As this course is online, a suitable device such as laptop, smart phone, tablet or computer will be required to access the course.  Zoom will be used for the live sessions and the link will be sent to you once your enrolment has been completed.
