The object of this class is to boost your understanding and knowledge of the guitar beyond playing open chords. The emphasis for the class will be on learning to play movable chords and developing a better understanding of the guitar fretboard; a good understanding of the fretboard goes hand-in-hand with playing movable chords. If you want to develop the skills required to play barre chords, then this class is for you.

- Playing chord shapes for major, minor,and seventh chords.
- Practicing tips for playing barre chords, and for learning the fretboard.
- If time allows, we will address additional chords.
By the end of this class, you should have a solid understanding about playing movable chords as well as a much better understanding about the fretboard.
