It's fun to play the guitar, and you can't go wrong learning from a seasoned instructor and musician like Travis. Focus on learning the names of the strings and the first position notes before progressing to chords and strumming patterns. Before you know it, you will be playing music! Bring a nylon or steel-stringed acoustic guitar, picks (plectrums), an electronic tuner, (or a smart phone with a tuner app) and the book Hal Leonard Method Complete Edition (approx. $20‚ $25). Travis Taylor has been playing guitar for a number of years and has been a member of a local band for quite some time. Additionally, he has more than 15 years of experience teaching guitar in the Saco school system.
