Description

My How to Play Fingerstyle/Fingerpick with Beginner/Intermediate exercises course is the quickest and easiest method for learning all the redimentary Fingerstyle/Fingerpicking movements needed for guitar for acoustic OR electric guitar . This course comprises 2 courses taking any guitarist from a beginner to intermediate level. It is my most direct, fun, and easy step-by-step method for the fingerstyle enthusiast, developed from teaching over 10,000 1-on-1 lessons and borrowing from my studies as a classical guitar major in college.

In this course we will focus on exercises only to REALLY hone our technique. No songs taught in this course. For that style, check out my other fingerpicking courses here on Udemy. Also, LOTS more on my store page at YourGuitarSage (.com).

Course 1: The Basics of Fingerstyle Guitar

The first six lessons guide the student step-by-step through unraveling the mechanics of Fingerstyle guitar in a fun and exciting way. The student will learn:

1. The Resting Position and why this is the cornerstone for all fingerpicking songs and methods.

2. The "Oom-Pah-Pah" pattern that lends itself best to waltzes and songs in "3" or "6".

3. The Fingerstyle roll, which is a must-know for any lover of Fingerstyle

4. The "pinch-pick", which allows the student to play multiple "voices" at the same time. This method empowers the guitarist to play a melody over a bassline, allowing the student to create "whole band"/orchestral arrangements.

Course 2: Intermediate Fingerstyle Guitar

This section examines explicitly the many different fingerpicking challenges aspiring fingerstyle guitarists will experience as they level up this style. However, in this case, the student feels no frustration as each of the 27 exercises builds upon the last, creating an enjoyable and rewarding journey to greatness.

Each exercise is demonstrated with great detail, and a PDF matrix is supplied to ensure success, improved coordination, and finger independence, empowering the student to overcome future challenges easily.

As with all my courses, I aim to bring students to their guitar-playing goals in the most effective path possible while making all challenges easy and fun. This ultimate fingerstyle course is your ticket to complete fingerstyle freedom as quickly and painlessly as possible.

This course is covered by Udemy’s ironclad return policy, so there is no way to mess up!
