MUS 120 - Guitar I

The course fosters a historical understanding and basic playing skills of this versatile instrument through a classroom-studio approach. Several aspects of the guitar are addressed including the history of the guitar; listening to classical, jazz, and rock guitar masters; reading music (not tab) to play introductory single note melodies; and learning basic chords, picking and strumming techniques. Students practice weekly assignments, play alone and in duets.
