Guitar Classes in Boston July 2018:  I’ll be doing three classes this term at the Boston Center for Adult Education.  I’ll be teaching a beginner guitar class July 11 – August 22, 6:00 – 7:15 on Wednesday nights.  This class focuses on teaching open chords and pentatonic scales.  Students will learn how to play some songs with the chords they’ve learned.  I’ll also be teaching a ukulele class from 7:30 – 8:45 from July 11 – August 1, and then I’ll be doing a level 2 guitar class focusing on fingerpicking and arpeggiation from August 8 – August 22.   This class also involves learning songs by current and classic rock artists.  To sign up, visit the BCAE website.
