Course Overview:
The purpose of this course is to develop in participants introductory guitar playing skills and give them a better understanding of the instrument itself and its applications in music. This course will enable participants to gain basic understanding of what the guitar is as an instrument and they will learn how to play the guitar at a beginner/intermediate level (depending on previous knowledge and skills of the participants). Participants will also be given a foundational understanding of music theory and its application in guitar based music. Course is specifically designed for participants who are a beginner level of guitar playing or are first timers. As the guitar is learned mostly through practice, the participants are highly encouraged to practice whatever is taught at home before attending the next lesson.
It is very strongly recommended that participants arrange and bring a decently functional guitar of their own to learn and practice on, without which teaching this course would become extremely challenging.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Understand the guitar as an instrument. How does it work? Types of guitars and how they are different.

Learning how to read guitar tablature and apply that knowledge to learning and performing a beginner level guitar based song.
