Raney will also offer guitar lessons for all ages (fourth grade and older) and abilities. All participants must have a working guitar and be willing to practice outside of lessons.
Two different levels will be offered Tuesdays Jan. 14 through Feb. 18 at the Community Center. Beginning lessons will meet from 5 to 6 p.m. Participants will learn 10 basic chords, how to strum the guitar and play some simple songs.
The advanced guitar lessons will be from 6 to 7 pm. Guitarists should know the 10 basic chords and be ready to practice switching chords faster, adding a few more basic chords, and simple picking patterns.
