Campfire Guitar

Students enrolled in Campfire Guitar will be given the opportunity to play and sing fun, varied songs with other people and will be given instruction for various ways to approach accompaniment. The songs will be kept simple to afford greater, relaxed expression and more material. Towards the end of the course, the students will lead the class with a song of their own choosing.

The techniques explored will include:
• open position chords
• barre chords
• upper triads
• basic lead technique
• arrangement
• percussive accompaniment

Although this class is guitar based, all acoustic instruments are welcome. No experience is necessary for guitarists, however basic guitar technique will be helpful. For other instruments, reading standard notation and basic technique is required.

Enrollees will be required to have their own instrument and a capo (for guitarists).

This is a 90 min, 16 week class held Wednesday or Thursday evenings.
