All at Once: Fingerstyle Guitar
Live Guitar Course: Intermediate Fingerstyle Guitar Course
If you've seen a good fingerstyle player, you can certainly attest to the fact that they are doing it "All at Once." This course is all about melodic fingerstyle guitar, which combines chords, rhythm and melody into one beautiful tapestry. In this progressive course, we’ll use the songs we’ve known for the longest time as a way inside the arranging process, before adding in other tunes.
