Why take this course and how much time does it take to complete?

Do you search the internet for the chords to your favorite songs only to be repeatedly disappointed to find that you can't play them because they use an F chord or a B chord?

Movable barre chords have ended the careers of countless potentially great guitarists before they ever began. That's because holding down all six strings on an acoustic guitar is difficult! With this 10 week course you can avoid the tragic fate of so many students before you and actually master barre chords opening the door to every important chord in the musical universe!

Do I need any previous guitar experience?

Yes! This class is for students who have completed NYC Guitar School courses I - IV or who are otherwise confident and knowledgeable at with open chords, small barre chords like the four finger F chord, four finger chords, and first finger barred A5 and E5 chords, as well as basic eighth note and sixteenth note strumming patterns and right hand techniques like the palm mute and scratching. (If you are almost but not quite ready, take Level IV, Guitar Workshop.)
