no, it really doesn't have much to do with guitar. the stuff we are covering is reading standard music notation, learning about time signatures, learning keys, learning how to construct major and minor scales, learning to sight sing, ear training, and things like that. it's not like they show you anything on a guitar, it is music theory, which can be put to use on any musical instrument, though when they need to use an example, they play it on a piano. I find the class to be very fun, and am actually considering being a music major now because I like it so much. (my school actually has 2 guitar classes, but I took this class first because it was a prerequisite for them)
