GUITAR FOR BEGINNERS/EASY SONGS FOR GUITAR

Info re the five courses/workshops by Graham Dixon –

Lancashire College – Gregson Lane Folk Club – Trouble at’ Mill.

This is designed to be FUN – don’t try and play the songs exactly like the originals – develop your own style. You will enjoy your guitar even more if you try to sing along.

Better still – pair-up with another guitar player and play together using different keys/capo positions.

Go along to your local Folk Club or ‘Open Mic’ Night and watch/listen to other people playing.

PRACTICE! – PRACTICE! – PRACTICE!
