Beginners’ Guitar Techniques for Relaxation and Stress Reduction with Marty Williamson at Effingham Public Library

The Effingham Public Library will host Marty Williamson at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 25, at Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library for a workshop on beginners’ guitar techniques for relaxation and stress reduction.

Williamson will show beginners how to pick up a guitar and play chords and melodies with little effort. Guitar playing has been shown to reduce stress, inspire creativity, alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, build self-esteem and boost brain activity.

Guitars will be provided so everyone can try the method.

When it comes to guitar instruction it would be difficult to find anyone more experienced than Marty Williamson. A full-time, local instructor since 1990, Marty’s strength is presenting information in practical ways that are easily understood.

Registration is required for this event. For further information, the library can be contacted at 217-342-2464 x1, email info@effinghamlibrary.org, or go online at www.effinghamlibrary.orgs
