For those that feel they’re stuck in musical rut and could do with a friendly crowbar to get them out of it. We’ll be taking a song lead approach as we advance on areas of knowledge including the CAGED system, improvisation, fretboard knowledge whilst dipping our toes in niche areas of learning such fingerpicking and funk. This has been of huge value to those that have been playing for a while but have found themselves playing the same stuff for years.
Joy of the Jam, commences on Tuesday 14th of May at 7.30pm, Saturday 18th of May at 12pm, Wednesday 22nd of May at 7.30pm and and runs for eight consecutive weeks, £240 for eight 90 minute sessions

This program harness everything that is great about all our other programs, either currently running or that we have blasted through in the past. It features songs only, meaning there is little teaching elements present, instead, just banging tunes that are facilitated by your lead tutor, who quite possibly invented this method of group guitar learning; there simply isn’t a guitar jam quite like a Guitar Social jam, and these sessions prove it.
This program is suitable for anyone that can play barré chords, read tabs and is looking to make some songs sound awesome ahead of a live performance.
