Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this guitar class:

If you know your basic chords like D, G, Em, C, D7, Am, C, A and E, but would like to be able to play entire songs with confidence--and mixed strums--then this is the class for you! You will become comfortable changing between these chords while using mixed strumming patterns, including the incredibly delicious sounding, ubiquitous and useful “basic strum” and “best strum" in the context of inspiring songs by artists like Adele, Bill Withers, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran and more.

Here's how it works:

  1. Come to class weekly to learn songs and skills and get encouragement and feedback from your teacher. The course topics cycle every 8 weeks or so, so you can start anytime.
  2. Practice at home using the included video practice library. Start each session with the Beginner Guitar 2 warm-up video to reinforce fundamentals and maximize your progress!
  3. The secret to success is remembering what you want--so review the Beginner Guitar 2 Class Graduation Video frequently, and play along with as many stops and pauses as you need. First you may be confused. Then you may be challenged. Finally, you will crush it! When you do, you're ready for the next class level.

Most students graduate from this class after about 8 sessions. But faster or slower is OK! 

Prerequisites: You have completed Beginners 1 or are comfortable with basic open chords and can play along with the graduation video for the Beginner 1 level class.


Refund Policy

We have a strict 3 business days cancellation policy and there are no refunds with fewer than 3 business days. There's a 5% non-refundable fee per student.

  • You can withdraw from a class at any time after it begins by notifying us for a one hundred percent credit (not a refund) for future sessions which are scheduled after your drop date.
  • You can use that credit towards any other class session.
  • Please note that you can't get credit for sessions which ran before you contacted us.

Make-up Policy:

There are three great options to go over missed materials.

  • First, every student gets free lifetime access to hundreds of video tutorials and practice sessions, so you can simply take the online version of the session you missed.
  • Secondly, you can drop in on the same session of a different section of your class--for free.
  • Finally, we offer discounted private make-up lessons for students who want to go over their missed class one-on-one.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
