If you already know your basic guitar chords, including D, G, Em, C, D7, Am, C, A, and E, but aspire to play complete and recognizable songs with genuine confidence and increasingly sophisticated mixed strumming patterns and rhythmic variations, this course is expertly designed precisely for you and your goals! You will develop genuine comfort and reliable muscle memory for changing smoothly between these essential chords while executing varied, nuanced strumming patterns and complex rhythmic variations, including the beautifully sounding, remarkably versatile, and widely useful "basic strum" and "best strum" techniques applied within the rich context of inspiring and beloved songs by accomplished artists including Adele, Bill Withers, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and many others whose work effectively demonstrates these core techniques.
Here's how it works:
1. Come to class weekly to learn songs and skills and get encouragement and feedback from your teacher. The course topics cycle every 8 weeks or so, so you can start anytime.
2. Practice at home using the included video practice library. Start each session with the Beginner Guitar 2 warm-up video to reinforce fundamentals and maximize your progress!
3. The secret to success is remembering what you want--so review the Beginner Guitar 2 Class Graduation Video frequently, and play along with as many stops and pauses as you need. First, you may be confused. Then you may be challenged. Finally, you will crush it! When you do, you're ready for the next class level.
Most students graduate from this class after about 8 sessions. But faster or slower is OK!
Prerequisites: You have completed Beginners 1 for Teens or are comfortable with basic open chords and can play along with the graduation video for the Beginner 1 level class.
