Rock Guitar for Teens Ages 13-17
Level III: Advanced Strumming, Riffing, Licks + Comprehensive Open Chords, Power Chords, Barre Chords, and Basic Shredding
If your child loves to play Guitar Hero or Rock Band, they will love how exciting and achievable learning to play a real guitar can be!
This class takes a revolutionary new approach to teaching absolute beginners. Students learn as they actually play along to some of their favorite rock songs starting on their very first day.
This class builds on the skills mastered in the Level I and II classes. Students should be comfortable with open and power chords, riffing, strumming, tablature, and able to play through several complete songs. This class will introduce Barre Chords, Pentatonic Scales and Basic Solo Technique. Your child will also enjoy immediate results as they play along to other great songs like "Don't Stop Believing", "Black Dog", "Sweet Child O'Mine", "Message In A Bottle", and other great songs by artist such as Metallica, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
In order to graduate to Level IV, students must master and perform three complete songs, be able to play the "Millipede" at 120bpm, must know the 5 Pentatonic Scale Patterns (boxes) and understand Major Scale Theory
We've worked hard to make this class work for the student AND the student's family:
--We supply guitars in class! (No guitar lugging necessary.)
--Extremely flexible scheduling! Attend any class that is on our Level I schedule from week to week. Choose the most convenient class for you and show up ready to rock!
--Free Introductory class and orientation. This 30 minute one-time class gives you a chance to tour the school and learn the basics before joining. Please arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. The introductory class is required for all students new to NYC Guitar School.
--Unlimited make-up classes! If you miss a week, you can sit in on any currently running Level II or III class. Make-ups must be completed within the same month of the missed class.
--Enthusiastic, patient and qualified teachers! They have extensive performing and teaching experience, college degrees in music and have been specially trained for this class.
