Beginner
Learn two or three skills and chords by the end of the session! A one-off workshop to try the acoustic guitar for the first time. This small group session is aimed at people who want to give it a go in a pressure free environment! The ultimate aim is that everyone is having fun
Not so Beginner
This session is aimed at those who have already started their guitar journey, learnt a few chords and want to take their playing to the next level. In this workshop, we will pick a song as a group and break down the elements necessary to learn the song including strumming patterns, chord progressions and playing in 4/4.
