Excellent news for novice guitarists with itchy fingers: with this instrument, you'll be up and running in no time.

In the first lesson, you immediately learn your first two chords. To master all these techniques, we take everyone's pace into account. After the second lesson, you will be able to play a four-chord medley! You will learn the subsequent chords using songs of your own choice.

Do you like campfire songs and evergreens? Or are you more of a fan of rock classics, singer-songwriters or indie? Anything is possible! Of course, we scan the choices of the group and build up the level as we go along. You will be given tools to analyse, understand and unravel songs yourself, so that you can continue at home after this course.

After this course, you can register and join the follow-up series later in the spring.

Practical

Bring your own instrument: a classical guitar (wide neck), folk guitar (narrow neck) or an electric guitar. A tuning device may also be useful.

Level of experience

Level 1: this is a beginner's course, you don't need any prior knowledge. However, it's important that you commit to the entire series and are determined to learn!
