It’s about developing the skills that make playing guitar enjoyable.
Over five weeks, we’ll work on:

✅ Getting to Know Your Fretboard – Discover how the guitar fretboard works, find your way around the strings and frets, and begin understanding where notes and chords come from.
✅ Rhythm and Strumming – Develop a steady beat, improve your timing and make your playing sound musical.
✅ Playing Real Songs – Put your new skills together and start making music.
✅ Understanding Your Guitar – Discover how rhythm, melody and harmony work together to create music.
✅ Practising Effectively – Learn how to make meaningful progress without spending hours practising or wondering what to work on next.
You’ll learn at a comfortable pace in a relaxed, supportive environment, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and develop your skills.
