THIS IS AN IN-PERSON SEAT IN A HYBRID CLASS

When I first learned how to fingerpick, I thought, “Now I’m a REAL guitar player.” I’ve checked in from time to time with my Guitar 2 students, and apparently, I’m not alone in that feeling.

As with my other classes, you’ll learn fingerpicking, a few strum patterns, and basic music theory—all in the context of playing specific songs. I’ll also help you create a manageable practice regimen (even for us over-scheduled, over-functioning New Englanders!).

This level is right for you as long as you can switch between open chords with relative comfort.

Registration Includes:

5 weekly classes

Sheet music

Let Me Take the Mystery Out of It music theory worksheets

Lifetime access to video lessons of all classes

You’ll learn technique and theory while playing songs like:

Killin’ the Blues

We Are Gonna Be Friends (The White Stripes)

Take It to the Limit (The Eagles)

Speed of the Sound of Loneliness (John Prine)

As Tears Go By (The Rolling Stones)

Landslide (Fleetwood Mac)

“I think you are a revelation—such an excellent writer and performer AND you can teach. Your lucky students!”—Christine Lavin
