Acoustic Guitar - Absolute Beginners

Led by Jim Maving

Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.

If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.

If you've never played guitar you need to book on the Absolute Beginners course!

These classes are split by skills level;

Beginners A - Recently completed the Absolute Beginners course but still some way to go. Yet to tackle bar chords and complicated rhythms.

Beginners B - Well on the way and able to do bar chords

Beginners C - Almost Intermediate but not quite yet.

Christopher Zalla 2023 | 126 mins

Spanish with English subtitles.

In a Mexican border town plagued by neglect and corruption, a frustrated teacher tries a radical new method to unleash the curiosity and potential of his students... and maybe even their genius.

Based on an incredible true story. Winner of the Festival Favourite Award at Sundance Film Festival.

‘Based on true events, this tale of a deprived school being turned on its head by the arrival of Mr Juárez feels fresh, largely thanks to its superb young cast’ ★★★★ The Guardian
