Learn to play the guitar! Absolute beginners are welcome. You will learn the fundamentals of playing folk, rock, and blues. The class covers all the basics and is also suitable for intermediate players who want to improve their skills: rhythm, reading music, and a few scales. The emphasis is on forming good habits and understanding basic concepts, like knowing the names of the notes.
Note - Many guitars and ukuleles are difficult to play because the strings are too far from the frets. I highly recommend you take your guitar to Eric Schoenberg Guitars in Tiburon, before the first class, and ask if you need a set-up. (The store is closed Sundays and Mondays. The best days for prompt service are Wednesday through Saturday.)

Learn what to do at a jam session: how to lead a song, how to follow other musicians and basic jam session etiquette. Players of all acoustic instruments are welcome, plus electric bassists. Each student will have chances to lead a song, and it is OK to pass when it is your turn. The emphasis is on simple songs that other players can follow easily: three-chord songs (like Free Fallin' and Sloop John B.) and 12-bar blues (like Kansas City and Buckets of Rain). Open to adults and teens.
