Acoustic Guitar - Absolute Beginners
Led by Jim Maving
Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.
If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.
If you've never played guitar you need to book on the Absolute Beginners course!
These classes are split by skills level;
Beginners A - Recently completed the Absolute Beginners course but still some way to go. Yet to tackle bar chords and complicated rhythms.

Lou Sanders: Shame Pig
Gabrielle once sang ‘dreams can come true’ and that’s lovely, but nothing to do with this show.
After sell-out, critically acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and London, with both runs extended to meet high demand, Lou Sanders is back with a national tour. She brings stabby step mothers, alcohol issues and an unusual sexual encounter in LA with her.
This show is all about shame. Sanders has met some pigs – and been a mucky little pig herself – and now she’s rolling around in her own filth for your delight.
As seen and heard on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Hypothetical, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, The Russell Howard Hour, Comic Relief and Radio 4’s Unbelievable Truth.
'A Fringe comedian who leaves you wanting more? I’ll take that deal' ★★★★ The Times
'Lou Sanders deserves a Comedy Award nod for this show… Her best show yet' ★★★★ Evening Standard
'A reminder of just how good a straight stand up Sanders is…a joyous embracing of her eclectic life' ★★★★ Fest Mag
'She’s terrific' ★★★★ The Guardian
'Thank the comedy Gods' ★★★★ Chortle
