Absolute Beginners Acoustic Guitar Group
Learning the Acoustic Guitar
The Absolute Beginners Acoustic Guitar Group offers lessons for any adult who wants to learn to play the acoustic guitar.
Once you have the basics, you will learn to play a few basic songs using a few chords and you will be hooked!
You will be leaning from someone who has worked on and played acoustic guitars for over 25 years.
Working in a group, most beginners can pick up the basics quickly and even play a basic song within a few meetings. You will of course have to practice at home too!
The group is for over 18’s. / Adults of all ages welcome.
There is no Amps or foot pedals, this is an unplugged Group.
