Fucking about with Guitars…and then to the pub - 3 weeks

Delivered by lead tutor and founder of The Guitar Social, Thomas Binns 

Course Overview 

We created this course for people that want to jam songs for the fun of it on a Saturday morning before heading to pub. We feel that this kind of encapsulates everything that The Guitar Social is about. You play some great songs, meet some people that are interested in the same stuff as you, and then hang out for a bit.

This doesn’t mean that learning won’t be taking place. Every song we do is yours to take home, and dig into. You then return the week after with the results of your hard work. To help you along, we’ll be capturing practice help on video in class, shared on our whatsapp group.  The biggest win or learning outcome on this though, is the progress that is made through connecting with your guitar weekly and jamming alongside other people. 

Level and pre-existing skills

This is an improver/intermediate course, meaning that you will be good with barre chords, you can read tabs, have played riffs, some solos and know a handful of scales. In typical playing terms, you will have been playing for over a year. However, everyone is always welcome to all courses, so if you need to know more, please email us.

Learning outcomes 

Whatever magic the song hold, this might be… 

• Solos
• Riffs
• Chords
• Technique
• Jam skills 

What songs and genres

Pop, Rock, Folk, Funk, Indie.

Electric or acoustic? 

You should always bring whatever you have the most playing. Electric players are expected to bring their own amps and leads

Can't make every session?

This is very common. If you miss up to a third of your program, we can keep you up to speed with video and email support.  We are also flexible with our schedule. If you need to jump on another session on a different date, the answer is always yes.
