The name "guitar" comes from the ancient Sanskrit word for "string" - "tar". (This is the language from which the languages of central Asia and northern India developed.) The Guitar is one of the most popular instruments in the world to learn to play and sing to since its ancestors like the Lute and Oud were played in the middle ages. Often played for royalty, it was also used by minstrels through Spain and England. We can help any beginner, intermediate or advanced player to gain confidence in playing this instrument.
If you wish to sing along with your guitar, playing acoustic or electric, we can help you to learn how to entertain yourself or your mates. PH: 07856 256653
