In this class I'll take you from "this is a guitar," to learning proper technique in playing, beginning chords and how they relate, reading tablature as well standard notation. We will learn some songs that will work with other classes as you progress. No prior musical experience necessary. Bring your guitar, a notebook, and be ready to have lots of fun as you get started playing the guitar! This class is for adults. (Kids classes and private guitar lessons for all ages are available by appointment: 423-827-8906)

Classes will meet from 7pm to 8:15pm every Tuesday starting January 8 for eight weeks. The final class will be February 26.
