Been trying to learn guitar but not really getting anywhere? These two classes are designed to start playing a few songs using 3 or 4 basic chords only. Your teacher will not be teaching music theory, barre chords or scales but with luck, you will be on your way to do a little jamming with friends when we are done. You are not going to become an accomplished player in two lessons, but it can be a start. If you are a seasoned player, you will not learn anything here.
