Intro To Guitar
Students will combine basic study of the guitar (its layout, or geometry) with a similarly basic study of music theory.Over the course of three classes, students will learn to play/identify chord progressions by the numbering system, and they will learn I-IV-V progressions in open position voicings in the keys of G, D and E.
Course Fee: $180  - Supply Fee: $5  Location: Folk School
Intermediate Folk Guitar
In this course, students will learn the complete numbering system for chord progressions (beyond the I,IV,V), minor chords, altered and barre chords. They will expand their knowledge and dexterity with simple embellishments, and additional chord voicings that utilize positions further up the neck of the guitar. 
We will introduce the use of a capo, as well, and explain what that implies for voicings and positions, as well as intonation/ performance of the instrument.
