MUSI 17
Beginning Guitar
Course Description
This course will provide students with beginning instruction for playing both acoustic (steel string) and classical (nylon string) guitar. No prior musical experience is required. Topics include basic note and tablature reading on the first four frets of the instrument; right-hand techniques, including free strokes, rest strokes, fingerstyle/arpeggio technique and pick technique; chords, chord progressions, and various strumming techniques; and music fundamentals, including scales and chord construction. These elements are especially suited for learning folk song accompaniment and basic melodies and are highly recommended for students who are pursuing music education or primary school teaching certificates and degrees.
