Beginner
guitar lessons
FREE Group Beginner Guitar Lessons, held the first Saturday of each month, are based on the book, “Play Guitar Now!“, by Hank Castello, available on Amazon and in our store. You’ll leave this lesson with a couple of printed songs you will be able to play and practice at home.
This is a 2-Lesson course. Those who return the following month will learn one more secret that will open the door to playing thousands of your favorite songs.
We also offer individual lessons for beginner through intermediate, please check here: Palm-Harbor-Guitar-Lessons.com or here Clearwater-Guitar-Lessons.com or call (727) 228-0125 and we’ll try to fit you into our lesson schedule. Your first private lesson is free.
Class Descriptions
These are free group beginner guitar lessons, designed to teach accompaniment guitar playing, also known as rhythm guitar and campfire-style guitar playing, where you learn to strum chord sequences as background to a singer or lead guitar player.
While rhythm guitar playing will make you the life of the party, lead guitar will put you in the spotlight!
Learn either method with our private lesson plans.
Classes are FREE for all and held every first Saturday of the month from 1pm to 1:45 at Hank’s Guitar Shop in Clearwater. Lessons teach the basics of holding a guitar and strumming and three easy chords that comprise the I-IV-V chord sequence in C opening the door to thousands of wonderful songs you’ll be playing!
You will need to practice at home after class. You can get a head start by purchasing the book ($10) “Play Guitar Now!“, by Hank Castello, available on Amazon and in our store.
Everyone learns at their own pace. Some will be ready to move on to a new chord by the second Class Others may spend several weeks working on the first chord. It’s all good!
If you only have an acoustic guitar, you’re welcome to bring it but we’ll lend you an electric for the class. It plays exactly like your acoustic, but a little easier on your fingers and quieter (not plugged in) so we don’t have chaos during class! 🙂
Please book classes online or call us to reserve your spot, because we can only accept eight students per class.
Want to learn ukulele or bass guitar? No problem. We’ll separate you from the group and get you going. By the second class, you’ll be in the band!
