This isn’t a class as much as it is a great place to get together in small groups to play and share music. It will complement the Campfire Guitar Bootcamp 101 well in that there will only be 1 meeting/month and rather than learning a pile of songs and riding the wave in a big group weekly.
Participants of the Campfire Guitar Bootcamp 101 class learn a wide variety of songs. From CCR to Doc Watson to Louis Armstrong to Jimmy Rodgers to The Eurythmics to Jack Johnson, we do it all and have a great time doing it.
How many strings does this thing have? You will learn this and so much more in this class.
This course offers students the first steps to playing jazz. We will explore several jazz forms including altered blues, simple bossa nova and standards with descending fifth chord progressions.Â
Whether just beginning or experienced, students are given the opportunity to play and sing fun, varied songs appropriate to their age group.
