Excellent news for beginner guitarists with itchy fingers: this course will get you off to a flying start. During the first lesson, you already learn your first two chords. Each participant's pace is taken into account while mastering the finger techniques. After the second lesson you will already be able to play a four-chord medley!

You 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 goes! Of course, we scan the group's choices and gradually build up the level.

You get tools to dissect and understand songs by yourself so that you can continue at home after this course.

Practical

Bring your own instrument: a classical guitar (wide neck) or folk guitar (narrow neck). A tuner can come in handy.

Level of experience

Level 1: no experience needed, this is a beginners class!
