Class Description

Description

In this guitar course, you will master compelling and complex strumming patterns by blending bass notes, palm mutes, scratches, and syncopated sixteenth-note rhythms, developing into a confident and expressive rhythm guitar player.

To ensure you select the appropriate class level, practice playing along with the class graduation videos provided. If you can play along with the previous level's graduation video but struggle with the graduation video for this class, you've found the right fit.

Before attending your first session, work through the warm-up video, which forms the foundation of every class. Nine warm-up variations are available; make sure you select the correct level for your abilities. Don't be concerned about fully mastering everything initially; focus on becoming familiar with the material. To accelerate your progress, use this warm-up video before each practice session at home as well.

Once you successfully master the graduation video, explore our next class in the series.

Prerequisites:

You have completed Beginners 1, 2, 3, and 4 courses or are comfortable with fundamental mixed eighth-note and sixteenth-note strumming patterns, rhythm techniques like palm muting and bass strumming, and chords including B7, Gadd5, Dm, small barre F, as well as standard open chords

Please note that with this purchase, you will receive a complete three-month membership, which entitles you to schedule as many available dates as you wish for your selected course, including full access to online classes.

Refund Policy

We have a strict 3 business days cancellation policy and there are no refunds with fewer than 3 business days. There's a 5% non-refundable fee per student.

  • You can withdraw from a class at any time after it begins by notifying us for a one hundred percent credit (not a refund) for future sessions which are scheduled after your drop date.
  • You can use that credit towards any other class session.
  • Please note that you can't get credit for sessions which ran before you contacted us.

Make-up Policy:

There are three great options to go over missed materials.

  • First, every student gets free lifetime access to hundreds of video tutorials and practice sessions, so you can simply take the online version of the session you missed.
  • Secondly, you can drop in on the same session of a different section of your class--for free.
  • Finally, we offer discounted private make-up lessons for students who want to go over their missed class one-on-one.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
