Intro to Lead Guitar is a course designed for rhythm guitar players who have a desire to play guitar solos but have absolutely no lead guitar experience! From simple licks to basic pentatonic scales you will start from the ground up and be playing solos with an understanding of what to do and what sounds cool. There will be simple exercises, patterns and licks. Hammer-ons, pull offs, slides, bends and other techniques will be covered as well as being able to play solos over a 12-bar blues.
For students who have completed Guitar For Advanced Beginners or who are otherwise familiar with basic open and barre chords and basic strums. Acoustic guitars available for use in the classroom, or bring your own electric guitar!

What our students are saying...
Thoroughly enjoyable. I tried to play for a year on my own and it just got stagnant. Sam opened my eyes to what it's all about.
Edward
Not only did I learn guitar, I made great friends!
Theresa
Brooklyn Guitar School takes the intimidation out of monster riffs.
Pierre
It's so nice to come to a place where there are such welcoming people to help me learn guitar and remember why I love music.
Jensen, Fashion Designer
I would recommend anyone to come here because you have so much fun learning to play the guitar. It's a very friendly atmosphere--I just keep coming back.
Jackie, Legal Secretary
I think I learned more in 10 weeks at NYC Guitar School than I did in an entire year of trying on my own.
Brad, Media Relations
There are lots of places where you can find great guitarists, there are lots of places you can find great teachers, but these are awesome guitarists who love to teach.
Janine, Public Relations
In three and a half years at Brooklyn Guitar School, not only did I learn how to play guitar from not knowing anything, but now I'm in two bands.
Renee
I can't believe the progress I have made in such an incredibly short time, and I feel more confident every week.
Luz
These are the first classes in my life that I look forward to all week!

I really like the staff. The staff is the friendliest I've seen in 12 years of advanced education.
Todd, Lawyer
It's fantastic. It's changed my life, actually. Probably the best thing that's happened to me in New York is finding this school.
Premal, Project Manager
This is one of the happiest and most fulfilling aspects of my life!

After failing with uninspired private lessons, my Absolute Beginners group got me through the first ten weeks, and the next ten, and the next ten...Brooklyn Guitar School rocks!
