Guitar Hangs
SUMMER SCHEDULE NOW LIVE
Sessions to play and learn guitar together.
Jam session meets music lesson.
Free for youth.
Come hang with us!
The Guitar Hang is a casual and relaxed learning experience for all abilities of guitar and bass guitar players, mainly serving early beginners to intermediate players. Not only is it a group music lesson, it’s also a jam session.
We’ll explore blues, jazz, folk and American roots music, uniquely weaving basic music theory concepts, interactive song learning, and social music playing, with an emphasis on improvisation and soloing. Through the selected repertoire, you’ll learn hidden or obscure stories of musicians and artists of color who greatly influenced American popular music, as well as the historical and social context of each song and composer.
