Beginners 1: Guitar for Absolute Beginners
Myko
View Details
About the Class Absolute and Total Beginners start here! Starting from zero, learn basic chords like D, G, Em, C, D7, Am, C, A and E, with super broken down step-by-step explanations of chord diagrams, strings and fingers--and real songs by artists like John Legend, Sublime, Taylor Swift, Coldplay and more. Yes, you really can and will learn to play guitar in this class! Here's how it works:
1) Attend class weekly. In every class you'll connect with your classmates, practice new skills step by step, and learn a new and fun song. Guitars are provided in NYC! (Need to miss a session? No problem--make it up with another group session for free or a discounted private lesson.) 2) Practice is easy with comprehensive video tutorials, including this simple 2-minute Level 1 warm-up video. 3) Graduate. Your teacher will let you know when you're ready to move to Level 2—or you can record a video of yourself playing along with that graduation video. Send it to info@nycguitarschool.com so that our NYC Guitar School team can declare a day of celebration and place you in your next class.) Most absolute beginner students feel ready for the next level after 6-8 sessions. But faster or slower is OK! You do you! Prerequisites:
None! Just bring your desire to rock!

If this if your first class, try playing along with this video beforehand--but don't worry about fully understanding or mastering everything, if you're unable to play everything in the video this is the right class for you! If you are able to pass the graduation video check out our next class in the series! Prerequisites:
You have completed Beginners 1, 2, & 3 or are comfortable with basic open chords, basic strumming patterns, and rhythm patterns like palm muting and bass strumming.

Beginners 2: Strums For Absolute Beginners
Myko
View Details
About the Class If you know your basic chords like D, G, Em, C, D7, Am, C, A and E, but would like to be able to play entire songs with confidence--and mixed strums--then this is the class for you! You will become comfortable changing between these chords while using mixed strumming patterns, including the incredibly delicious sounding, ubiquitous and useful “basic strum” and “best strum" in the context of inspiring songs by artists like Adele, Bill Withers, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran and more. Here's how it works: 1. Come to class weekly to learn songs and skills and get encouragement and feedback from your teacher. The course topics cycle every 8 weeks or so, so you can start anytime. 2. Practice at home using the included video practice library. Start each session with the Beginner Guitar 2 warm-up video to reinforce fundamentals and maximize your progress! 3. The secret to success is remembering what you want--so review the Beginner Guitar 2 Class Graduation Video frequently, and play along with as many stops and pauses as you need. First you may be confused. Then you may be challenged. Finally, you will crush it! When you do, you're ready for the next class level. Most students graduate from this class after about 8 sessions. But faster or slower is OK! Prerequisites: You have completed Beginners 1 or are comfortable with basic open chords and can play along with the graduation video for the Beginner 1 level class.
