Guitar I
Tired
of the same old chuck 'n jive, hum 'n strum guitar? Learn
to play classic guitar! Classic guitar combines melody & accompaniment
together into a musically complete solo. It's the most satisfying
way to play guitar! We start at the
beginning, so you'll learn music reading, technique
and tuning before you start your first solos. When you
finish this course you'll play solos at the level of
Greensleeves or Malaguena. No prerequisites. Open to
everyone! 2 credits. MWF 10:00-10:50 & 12:00-12:50. MWF Syllabus

finger picking, bass lines, and strumming and arpeggio
patterns for song accompaniment. Soon you'll be jammin' with
your garage and praise band buds. No prerequisites. Open to
plain folks. 2 credits. MWF 9:00-9:50. Course
