In this course, the continuing beginner will further develop chords and strumming, as well as important techniques such as alternate picking, hammer-ons, and pull-offs, while increasing overall facility on the
instrument. Students will learn to:

• Play a new song using more chords and correct strumming technique
• Play the 12-Bar Blues
• Read music on the guitar on all six strings in first position
• Improvise guitar solos using three popular scales

Note about placement: Those who have learned a couple of chords and want help making it sound like a song can start here. Students who have completed Guitar I are prepared for Guitar II.

Required for the class: a guitar, an electronic tuner, a pick, Alfred's Basic Guitar Method 1

These items can be purchased in Berkeley at The Starving Musician.
