How to Play Fingerstyle or Fingerpicking Guitar

via YouTube

Overview

How to play fingerstyle guitar lessons, a complete guitar course in fingerpicking. Fingerpicking style guitar is used in virtually all styles of music and therefore it is really useful to learn this style of play. You don't need to learn fingerpicking guitar on an acoustic guitar as it can sound just as good on an electric guitar. This is a series of carefully designed progressive guitar lessons that will carry you through from an absolute beginner on the guitar to a good level of proficiency in fingerstyle or fingerpicking guitar. The GCH Guitar Academy guitar lessons are published to YouTube on a weekly basis just as if you were having private lessons. This gives you time to practise the lessons on your guitar between lessons so that you get the most from each free guitar lesson and achieve your goals as a guitar player. Before you start fingerpicking your guitar you will need some basic knowledge of guitar chords to do this course and basic knowledge of how to read guitar tablature so therefore I have put 2 videos at the beginning of this play list for you to watch before starting this guitar course.

    Really great course bit of trouble locating the right video for the lesson but that's probably my problem otherwise excellent
  • Setelah mengikuti course ini, saya keblai diingatkan tentang teknik2 fingerstyle pada gitar yang lama tidak saya pelajari. Course ini sangat mudah dipahami dan dicerna, terutama untuk pemula seperti saya.
