Description

An Introduction to Fingerstyle Guitar

The term 'Fingerstyle' as it is applies to the guitar, covers an immense range of genres and styles. Instead of holding a plectrum and extracting one note at a time, or only being able to strum across the strings, a fingerstyle player employs the use of the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers of the strumming hand to extract multiple notes at the same time. Using a combination of melody, bass, rhythm and even percussion, an excellent fingerstyle player can make it seem like they have the entire band or orchestra at play under their fingers.

Taught to you by a master of the craft and guaranteed to get you out of that guitar rut you've been stuck in, Tony's short course of 9 videos covering 2 songs will have you amazed and delighted at what you can do. Although basic guitar chord skills must be developed to get the full measure from the 9 videos, the first 3 lessons are designed specifically for raw beginners. A starter-pack if you will.

All material taught is backed up with PDF files and Tony is available to answer all questions related to the work in the videos via email.
