"Starting to Play” is fundamental instruction for virtually any style of guitar playing, while other classes take off from there. “Folk Standards,” “Already Picking Some,” and “Folk Favorites” are logical choices for those who know enough chords and basic techniques to make “Starting to Play” redundant. All classes are a ten-week series. For more information, call Carol or go to: www.carolmccomb.com. Gryphon has loaner guitars available for “Starting to Play” only. Call Gryphon for details.
