A course for guitar students who already have a command of the foundations. Those who can play the open position chords (Em, Am, C, G, D, A, E, and F) and change between them with relative ease. Each term we will take various songs and instrumental pieces, breaking them down to focus on technique and theory.
Develop the confidence to create and set ideas in melodic and lyrical form to harmony. Where does inspiration come from? How do you shape the raw material? How do you arrange the elements of song for best effect? No experience of song writing necessary, just a willingness to participate, collaborate and join in the fun. We use whatever instrumentation there is to hand, and whatever the group can bring.
A course for all newcomers to this most versatile of instruments. Learning the technical basics of how to hold and play the guitar and getting to grips with notes and chords.
