501: Beginning Folk Guitar
Tuesday9:45 - 11:15
Starting March 05
In-Person
Do you have a guitar lying around that you've been meaning to learn to play but have never gotten around to? This course will be an introduction to folk guitar, i.e., learning to play chords, mainly to accompany singing (as opposed to classical guitar which involves reading music). I think it helps motivation if you have specific songs that you would like to learn, so we will play and sing songs selected by class members.
