GUITAR I & II
Guitar I & II are courses at Elk River High School that are meant to offer a musicians opportunity to those who never played an instrument in school. The course starts from the very basics and works to give the beginning guitarist a firm foundation with the acoustic 6 string. Here you'll find links to outstanding resources, handouts and music that is tested on throughout out the quarter. As the year progresses check back in to find recordings of material covered in class as well as special jam recordings for you to play along with.
