We'll let you know when Mike Salow adds new classes to Til.
In these weekly jams we'll focus on the topics and skills to develop your guitar playing at the beginning stages. This will be a great outlet for those who have recently picked up a guitar and maybe have a few chords, rhythms, and/or scales under their belt. We will spend time covering the CAGED system and its utility in understanding the layout of the fretboard. We will also develop basic rhythms and strumming patterns that are common within pop and contemporary music. The goal here is to better understand the instrument as it relates to the songs and licks you may have already learned and/or those you will learn in the future.

Awesome course from a down to earth and well educated teacher. My knowledge of the fretboard and my improvisation have increased over the 8 weeks working with Mike. I highly recommend.

nothing. nose to the grindstone for his students.
Eric
I could hear Mike perfectly but I had a bad echo when the other students spoke. I use this same laptop for work calls all the time and don't have the same issue. Not sure what the issue is but I'll try headphones next time.
