Whether you're just getting started or are taking your skills up a level, Girl Guitar is the most fun you'll have in your journey to the stage.

Are you intimidated by altered tunings? Want a way to spice up your guitar sound? Join our workshop where you'll be introduced to altered tunings using a short-cut capo. A short-cut capo allows you to dip a toe into the world of altered tunings, and add color and texture to songs quickly and easily - without even having to learn a bunch of new chord shapes! (You will need a Kyser Short-Cut Partial Capo OR a Shubb C7B Partial Capo as well as a regular capo for this class)
Taught by Heather Miller
For women 21+

Start From Zero is a welcoming, low-pressure workshop designed for women who have always wanted to play guitar but didn’t know where to begin — or thought they missed their chance. In this 90-minute group experience, you’ll learn the fundamentals in a supportive, judgment-free environment where questions are encouraged and perfection is not required. Guitars are available to borrow, no prior experience is necessary, and you’ll make music on day one. More than a class, this workshop is an invitation into Girl Guitar — Austin’s home for women in music — where confidence, creativity, and community matter just as much as chords.
This workshop is for women 21+.
