For Beginner students, they should expect to learn the basics of guitar playing. How to hold the guitar, how to tune the guitar, proper picking and strumming technique, finger style, etc. They should also expect to learn basic music knowledge such as the notes of the fretboard, the major and pentatonic scales, the different types of chords and how to build them, and intervals.
