If you've learned your basic chord shapes and don't know how to take the next steps in your guitar journey, this course is for you. Throughout the the week, we'll cover new ideas about rhythm guitar playing, etiquette and technique relating to ensemble playing and some basic approaches to melody playing to create a strong foundation for further guitar exploration.

Students should have some working knowledge of basic, open guitar chord shapes and basic right hand skills. The course will focus on playing with a pick, with a particular emphasis on accompanying bluegrass, old-time and folk music styles on the flattop acoustic guitar.
