<p>I really want to at the very least take some courses in guitar. I honestly don't care what style. I'm just looking for an excuse to play a guitar. I love playing the guitar, but it's not my fault that I wasn't exactly exposed to the learning styles of classical/jazz guitar. Heck, where I live, in this god forsaken small town, that's not possible because of where I live. I'm 17 years of age, and I really want to take some guitar courses while I'm going to college. Is there anyway I can get some sort of introductory or remedial course for this area? If anyone can help me out, I really need it. I just want an excuse to play guitar at college. I may not be able to because of how much attention I need to put into my work at college. </p>
<p>Depends on the school. You’ll have to look at what’s offered. Some classes may be restricted for music majors or require an audition, but others may be introductory for new students. At my school, you could also take extension classes that were beginning music lessons. What’s offered will depend on your school. If you really want to learn, you could always take private or group lessons outside of your school from a music teacher. Or you could learn on your own or from a friend. I know several students who self-taught themselves guitar during college. There’s no reason you have to take a class in order to learn to play.</p>
<p>Do you have a guitar? Your school may have some available, but it’s not very likely. You’ll most likely be expected to bring your own.</p>
<p>I was an English major at a private liberal arts college and I used my electives to take classical guitar. The lessons were free and I even got academic credit for them. Learning guitar was one of the best decisions I made as an undergraduate! I got to use the lessons for my fine arts coursework and was eligible to play in a guitar quartet after my second year. I had my own guitar, but the music department had some guitars available for students. i would think my experience this is fairly common, at least for LAC’s.</p>
