Ready to pick up a guitar, dust off an old one, or just explore the joy of music in a supportive, fun community? This beginner-friendly class is your perfect introduction to finding your rhythm and connecting with fellow Wanderers who are building their chosen family – aka their shovel friends. You know, the kind of friend where you could show up at their door in the middle of the night with a dead body, and with no hesitation they'd look at you and say, "I'll get the shovels."

I’ll be leading the class myself, and I love helping people discover the joy of music, especially those picking it up for the first time. This group is all about learning at your own pace, with zero pressure and plenty of encouragement. Each session builds a little more skill, but more importantly, it builds genuine connection. You’ll leave not just playing your first full song, but also with a few new shovel friends to share the journey with. Experienced guitarists are also welcome to join, help out, and bring some creative energy to our jam at the end!

Bring your acoustic guitar (or an electric with a small amp) and an open mind. We’ll end with a casual jam session where everyone can join in.

Ready to accelerate your musical journey? This group is a fantastic first step! If you're looking for personalized guidance to master the guitar faster, sign up for a free 30-minute introductory lesson with me! It's the perfect way to get tailored feedback and discuss your musical goals.
