Synthesis Group

Intermediate level, social guitar classes, with up to five 8-week sessions per year!
The Synthesis Group class (formerly known as G4) is a revolving and evolving 8-week class. Rather than a fixed curriculum like G1 - G3, the G4 class continually adds new material each session, and each week is focused on a specific component of playing guitar.
Students happily stay in the Synthesis Group for years and each class develops its own personality.
​
Think of it like a fun, social class, like karate or yoga.
​
While Synthesis isn't really an "advanced" class, you'll want to either be pretty comfortable playing on your own, or have completed G1 - G3 (or Warp 8) first. It's probably more accurate to call it an intermediate level class.
The students in the Synthesis Group classes have a wide range of abilities, and those abilities continue to improve from one session to the next.
​
Students are also afforded the opportunity to make song requests, and each week we learn at least two songs - one from this list and another to celebrate artists' birthdays or special dates.
In one year of Synthesis you should pick up at least 80 new songs!
​
Additionally, more concepts are explored that are not really touched on in G1 - G3, such as pentatonic scales, improvisation and lead guitar, and some rudimentary music theory concepts.
​
Of course, as new students are entering a Synthesis Group, the average skill level adjusts naturally, and the curriculum is tweaked accordingly. The class is always challenging and continually changing to keep things interesting.
​
If the Synthesis Group sounds like the class for you, but you haven't been through G1 - G3, our Warp 8 accelerated program may be just right for your needs!
