GUITAR CLASS I and II
   

Guitar Class I and II are open to all ASU students regardless of experience playing the guitar. True beginners as well as experienced guitarists may register for these classes. Guitar Class I meets Fall Semester only and is an introductory course to learning the fundamentals of guitar playing. The course will focus on learning basic chords, conventional strumming techniques and finger picking, and notes in first position as well as the general technique of guitar playing.

The text is Philip Hemmo's Beginning Classroom Guitar with CD, available in the ASU Bookstore.

Guitar Class II (prerequisite, Guitar Class I or permission of the teacher), which meets Fall and Spring semesters, continues the techniques of guitar playing discussed in Guitar Class I and applies them to more difficult music.
