Beginning Guitar 2 with Gregory Roberts

Take the next steps in your guitar playing by reviewing the basics then quickly moving on to new chords and the most important scale in folk, blues, and rock: the pentatonic scale. You’ll continue learning popular songs from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s and begin singing along to as you play!

For students previously enrolled in Beginning Guitar 1 or those who can play at least three chords.

Skills Needed: Although this is a continuation of Beginning Guitar 1, you do not need to have taken that class to join this one. You should know a handful of chords (like E, A, G, C, and D) and be able to strum with your thumb or a pick.

What to Bring: Please bring a working, six-string guitar, tuner, and a device for recording and/or taking video. Note that Dusty Strings cannot provide loaner instruments for this class, and students may not use instruments for sale in the store. If you do not yet have a guitar, ask about our affordable rental program! We’re also happy to guide you through the process of purchasing a guitar and finding the right one for you.

Teacher: Finding passion in music is a core component of Gregory Roberts’ teaching style. His goal is to cultivate “a strong sense of confidence and identity in students’ knowledge, abilities, and the music they love to play.” He has a patient and understanding approach that caters to the individuality of each student. Gregory enjoys writing, recording, producing, and releasing his own music. He has been performing and working as a professional multi-instrumentalist for fourteen years, with extensive experience in New York City’s music scene from which he hails.
