Which Class Should I Take?

A few quick questions to help you figure out which class is right for you.

(Should you find yourself in a class that is either too slow or way above your personal level of play, NO PROBLEM. Just give Jimmy T a call at 773.751.3371 and he'll get you into a class that fits more comfortably.)

Can you play G, C, D, A, E minor and a few other basic open chords?

If not, try Guitar 1.

Can you change basic open chords without stopping to reposition your fingers?

If not, try Guitar 1 Repertoire

Can you play a song from the beginning to the end without stopping?

If not, try Guitar 1 Repertoire

Can you do some simple bass runs?

If not, try Guitar 2

Do you know F, Dm, & simple Bm chords?

If not, try Guitar 2

Are you self taught but not quite sure about certain open chords and haven't spent lots of time on bass runs, or using the capo or arpeggio patterns?

If so, sign up for Guitar 2 Repertoire and don't be afraid to repeat that level as much as is necessary.

Do you know barre chords?

If not, try Guitar 3

Can you find them up and down the neck?

If not, Guitar 3 Repertoire
