Get introduced to your guitar! This includes the different parts of your guitar, what they do, and how to use them. The workshop will continue with some basic understanding of how the guitar is tuned, alternate tunings, and using a capo. This will lead to some music theory and how to apply it to the guitar and what potential this can bring for playing the guitar. We will finish off with playing some music incorporating some of the knowledge we have learned.
