Walk through the key concepts and guidelines for arranging a song to fingerstyle guitar. Apply these ideas to create effective fingerstyle arrangements.
Choose songs with a strong, moving melody that your fingers can follow, like 'with a little help from my friends,' to facilitate expressive fingerstyle guitar arrangements of the Beatles.
Learn melodies by ear or from a teacher using tabs, video lessons, or notation, then practice many tunes to train your ear and identify intervals.
Learn to find the song's harmony by ear by playing many songs with many chords, starting with G, D minor, and A minor, and identify them by listening.
Learn to choose a fingerpicking pattern that alternates bass and treble strings, using a progression like G, D/F♯, and A minor to D/F♯ to accompany the song.
Combine the melody and harmony with fingerstyle on G, D over F sharp, and A minor, using alternating bass and notes from the chords to fill gaps.
With great songs, melodies and harmonies, The Beatles are the best to learn from and the most enjoyable to arrange to fingerstyle guitar.
In this course, I've gathered and arranged 4 Beatles songs for fingerstyle guitar, each song is broken down into small digestible pieces, with exercises that will help us implement the techniques needed to play fingerstyle guitar.
I believe that playing more songs is the most important thing to do in order to improve and develop your skills as a guitar player, that also wants to arrange for fingerstyle guitar by himself/herself.
With the songs: Yesterday, Yellow Submarine, With a Little Help From My Friends, and Here Comes The Sun, you'll gain hours of fun, you'll learn and develop thumb and finger independence, and you'll get closer to understanding how to arrange fingerstyle by yourself.
Since Here Comes The Sun is in Drop D tuning, I made a chapter about Drop D tuning that will give you some practical tools to understand this tuning and its logic.
And everything is taught in a practical clear method that will make you truly succeed and improve your playing, not only for the songs and the content of this course but a method that will teach you how to learn everything you want.
