This class will teach you basic guitar-playing skills including tuning, right-hand and left-hand
techniques, holding the pick, strumming styles, and a lot of chords.

If you already play a little bit of guitar then you may want to check out our
"Next Step" guitar
repertoire class.  Please note: we will be using picks for the class and we will not be doing any
finger-picking.

We'll start slowly and learn chords and techniques within the context of several tunes including:
I'll Fly Away, This Land is Your Land, Amazing Grace and others. In addition, you will learn
exercises that will help to strengthen your hands and fingers.

You should come away from this class with a better understanding of playing the guitar and the
desire to keep playing your guitar!

Please contact us if you need a guitar as a limited number of guitars are available during the
six-week class period.

The fee for the Guitar From Scratch class is $90.

If you are interested in taking this class or have questions about the class, please contact our
instructor, Rob Krumm, via email
rob@c-4a.org or phone at 217-840-4901.
