About the event
Intermediate Guitar – Deep dive into the songs of Neil Young and CCR
The Friendly intermediate guitar class brings people together who already have basic guitar and musicianship skills in a fun social setting. The focus of the class is on using basic open chords, introducing basic barre chords, playing melody notes, and strumming patterns with the guitar.
This will be done by understanding the structures, and playing the songs of Neil Young and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
