Guitar 101

• What: Time to dust off that old guitar from the closet you’ve been meaning to take lessons with! In these virtual guitar tutorials, you will learn the following beginner guitar techniques: 
  • Session 1- Parts of guitar, tuning, strumming, beginner chords, simple song 
  • Session 2– More chords, counting beats, strumming patterns, learning songs 
  • Session 3– Bar chords, C scale, fingerpicking, and more songs! 
• Facilitated by: Alex Badiu, a Michigan native who is working with the Higher Ground Adaptive Sports program this winter. He is an Aviation Management and Operations graduate and he’s been playing guitar his entire life; it’s his biggest passion. He looks forward to sharing his love of music and guitar with you for these sessions.
• Prepare: You will get the most out of this workshop if you have a guitar to play with! Alex will be teaching you how to tune your guitar but you are more than welcome to download a free tuning app (we like Pano Tuner) or purchase an electric tuner. We look forward to jamming with you!
