Applications are closed and acceptances have been sent out. Please check the decal out next semester!

This is a class for beginner guitar players with little to no experience. We will teach chords, fingerpicking, and how to read chord charts. There are 2 hw assignments every week, a midterm, and a final. This is not an easy decal. :( Our goal is to teach you guitar, and like any instrument, wouldn't be possible without passion, dedication, and a lot of practice.

There will be 2 song learning HW assignments every week and we expect you to play everyday for at least 30min. There will be a midterm and final.

Section 1 will focus on chords.

Section 2 will focus on finger-style

Both are beginner level. Enrollment will be decided through applications that will be released later this week. You will only be able to enroll in one section however you may apply to both and note your preference in the application.
