Our Blues Guitar lessons will teach you a range of skills to introduce improvisation and new rhythmic styles to your practice.

Perfect if you already have some guitar experience and want to learn this fundamental form that exists in just about every genre of music. Play Jazz and Blues standards with confidence alongside developing your ability to improvise.

Building on our beginners' guitar course, you will continue to learn to play as a group. However, our professional tutors will introduce solo guitar playing as you gain confidence.

OUR APPROACH

Like all of our music lessons, you will work as a group while still receiving individual feedback. You will work learn two popular songs that can be performed in front of friends and family.

Students will have the ability to read tab and chord diagrams. Students should also have experience changing between chords and some experience playing basic melodies/riffs. Ideally, students will have completed the City Academy Guitar Beginners Course. Please note, you will need to bring your own guitar.

Good spoken and written English is required.
