Intermediate Acoustic

Intermediate classes cover a wide variety of skills, and are a fantastic place to keep returning to in order to keep yourself playing and improving. 

How do I know if I'm ready for Intermediate? Great question! In order to excel in an Intermediate class you'll want to be comfortable changing seamlessly between G, C, D, A, E, am and em, and be familiar with (and open to) barre chords. These classes will focus on adding layers on top of basic chord changes in order to enhance your playing and get you mobile, capable, and confident around the neck of the guitar. This class moves fast and optimal success is largely dependent on outside practice time.

We're using songs from sister duo First Aid Kit to learn some basic fingerpicking patterns! In this first workshop, we'll focus on My Silver Lining, learning the foundational movements of Travis picking. But we'll also run through a series of exercises that you can do (every day?!) to strengthen the coordination of your thumb and first two fingers, so when you (hopefully!) return for Workshop II on April 20th you'll be ready to jump right in.
