Acoustic fingerstyle is like playing piano on the guitar. This is far more expansive!

“
Our fantastic tutor Thomas has spent a guitar playing lifetime honing his acoustic fingerstyle sills, and in this series he has been taking you through from foundations to more intermediate techniques. This course takes those ideas to the top level, encouraging a broader view of the instrument beyond scales and chords. Inspired by John Mayer and Tommy Emmanuel's fingerstyle mastery, we demonstrate how the guitar's potential is limitless! This course condenses Thomas' lifelong journey, to accelerate your learning, refine the techniques we covered in previous courses, and foster musical freedom. Thomas also introduces some new concepts like legato, Travis picking, and creative experimentation, giving you full freedom of expression on the acoustic guitar!
