57-129 Elective Studio (Guitar)

3–9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course uses classical and jazz guitar methods to provide a basic set of techniques that will allow students to pursue the avenue of guitar playing that most interests them. While emphasis will be on developing skills in playing the guitar, a basic understanding of the principles of music theory as applied to the guitar will also be acquired. While few students will find it possible to master all the material presented, exposure to the many possibilities of musical expression available on the guitar and an understanding of basic music theory will help to broaden the student's perspective and make future musical experiences, such as listening and performing, more rewarding.
