In this weekly lesson students will learn basic skills and beyond. Subjects covered will include the physical properties of the instrument, how to interpret and read tablature and chord boxes, and how to play 2 to 4 chord songs. Ben has developed a warm-up method that covers many subjects at once, and you will be able to incorporate classical, rock, folk, and other fingerstyle techniques with fun surprises along the way. Using a plectrum, or a pick, is part of this method, so please attend with one if you can. Students with brand new instruments and players with no experience are advised to have someone help them tune the guitar before logging on, at least prior to the first lesson. Our class environment is encouraging and friendly and if you cannot attend all the lessons in sequential order, it is not an issue. Many of our beginners who began four years ago like to attend both classes (Advanced and Beginner) as our conversations and listening sessions make for an entertaining morning with friends.**Registration is required. **POB residents may register using their POB Library card beginning May 20.**Non-residents may register beginning May 27.Registration instructions:For POB library card holders:  Enter 'yes' for the library card question, enter your Library card number and 4 digit PIN number (please call the library if you don’t know that information) and click ‘Register.’For Non-Residents:  Enter 'no' for the library card question.  Fill out the registration form without Library card information.  Once the registration form is filled, click ‘Register.’  You will receive a notification that you are on the Waitlist.
