Beyond Beginning Guitar Pre: Co: Are you at a plateau in your playing style and want to learn more about rhythm, timing, and technique? Could your strum patterns use a new back beat?

This is an opportunity to polish what you already know, learn more, and have your questions answered. This course will definitely pick your playing up a notch or two.
