Insert Video

Dear guitarist,

Here's the story.

I have created a new video course called:

"The Fingerpicking Bootcamp"

It's not cheap, it requires your dedication, and for the best results, I recommend you go through it multiple times...

...But it's also a laser-focused course designed to guide you all the way. You'll get step-by-step and fun daily video lessons delivered to you via email. The lessons are designed to work at your current skill level and motivate you and drive your playing forward.

Just Some Of What You'll Discover in 21 Days of The Fingerpicking Bootcamp

...And this is before we get to the stunning bonuses

The three pro "elements" to play longer, stronger, and more comfortably. Discover the simple yet powerful factors that bring your hands, body, and mind into harmony, allowing you to play effortlessly from today (and years to come) These are a major backbone to everything I play and teach on the guitar (Day 2).
Travis Picking Secrets used by legends such as Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel. Learn the "Boom Chick" Travis picking magic that adds depth to your sound and can even make it sound like two guitars being played at once (Day 4).
The simple "layering" trick that will instantly make your fingerpicking stand out. Add personal touches and embellishments to classic fingerpicking patterns, and transform them into something uniquely "you" in moments (Day 9).
Warm Up Like a Pro. This ultra-focused warm-up routine is designed to banish finger tension, help you get "in the zone" for every practice session, and give you comfort on the guitar each time you play. (Day 1).
The 200-year-old game-changing picking technique to instantly improving your tone. This technique has fallen out of favour with mainstream fingerpickers BUT it sounds great, is easy to practise, and will help make every note you fingerpick shine. Learn this tip from classical masters of years gone by (Day 5).
...And uncover my favourite "exotic" chords, fix the "Seven Deadly Sins", and get valuable reminders, key insights, and plenty of “nuggets” of wisdom throughout the 21-day journey.

Let’s take a quick break.

After discovering the unique two-part fretboard “secret” (taught on days 3 & 9)...

Many of my private students who previously struggled with this have told me how it has helped them unlock the fretboard with a newfound clarity.

They’re now learning notes and understanding music at a greater depth.

This simple and short concept draws on an “eastern” idea and applies it to “western” music, allowing you to play major and minor scales in surprisingly elegant ways.

And in one of the bonuses (which I'll share more about in a moment)...

You'll even get a FULL course that dives deeper into this concept. These lessons will be like dynamite for your fretboard and fingerpicking skills!

Frankly, this concept has proven so powerful.

...It is now the backbone of my entire fretboard methodology.

The best part?

Most guitarists overlook this simple skill. But those who master it no longer worry over the fretboard.

Instead, they enjoy learning the fretboard and get greater clarity and confidence.

Here are more secrets waiting for you inside the 21 days...

Jeff Beck’s timing secret for flawless rhythm. Use this tip to "lock in" your timing without complex exercises. The result? Flawless rhythm and unshakable confidence (Day 6).
The Ultimate Rhythm Trick. Learn how to transform the most popular strumming pattern ever into fingerpicking magic—perfect for adding fresh excitement to your strumming songs or playing a tried and tested timeless groove at the drop of a hat (Day 15).
Steal the secrets to creating killer intros. Inspired by multiple guitar legends such as Van Morrison and The Byrds with their jangly grooves, the classy James Taylor "triad" fretboard trick, and even Bob Marley's bass-led melodic grooves... You'll be able to craft stylish intros that are designed to be usable in pretty much any song or jam (Day 13).
Energize your sound with Johnny Cash-style country picking (Day 20). How to play catchy riffs, "bass/treble" strums, and more. The chords are easy, but the country grooves are electric!
“Riffs and Pumps” for extra style: Add flavour between chords just as seasoned legends like Mark Knopfler, James Taylor, and Tommy Emmanuel do to give your playing a distinct, classy, and stylish edge (Day 21).
Plus, master the rhythmic flow of 3/4 time (Day 17), sharpen your musical instincts with a fun and highly practical "elegant" ear-training challenge (Day 14), discover exciting chord voicings (Day 16), and more.

Let’s talk about "clarity".

There's a gazillion fingerpicking patterns you could learn...

...but after years of teaching this stuff, I've realised that having just a handful of patterns and doing stunning things with them is the KEY to being the best fingerpicker you can be.

In my opinion, one of the most compelling aspects of this course is how I’ve integrated this specific HANDFUL of essential patterns into all the lessons... all the way from the 21 days to the bonuses.

This handful of patterns serve as the foundation for everything we build upon.

And they're the cornerstone of both my own and my students’ fingerstyle playing and will help you play exciting music while boosting your confidence and clarity.

This is NOT a course that you

will use just once but...

It's a Course That

Grows With You!

The Fingerpicking Bootcamp isn’t just another course—it’s meticulously designed to give you instant results and keep you coming back for more.

Best part? You’ve got lifetime access, so there’s no rush.

Every time you revisit, you’ll notice something new. Each lesson is packed with "Levels" that go deeper than you might expect. With every replay, you’ll discover fresh techniques and insights that take your playing to the next level.

Everything has been filmed in my new studio for a super HD experience, and the course is a journey that keeps evolving, making it an ongoing, valuable resource for your guitar skills.

Oh, and don’t stress if you miss a day.

The course is super flexible. You can catch up whenever you want and even have the 21 days of emails sent again from the start. So, you’ll never miss out on the excitement.

Now, here’s where it gets even better...

You Will Get These Exclusive Bonuses to Enjoy Forever

In addition to the 21-day course, you’ll get 7 brand new and exciting bonuses designed to fuel your progress and keep you motivated.

There’s so much I want to share about fingerpicking, but squeezing it all into the 21 days would be overwhelming - and if you know me, you'll know I HATE overwhelm. (I avoid it like the plague - both in my own playing and when teaching my students).

That’s why I’ve included these lessons as bonuses - but they're not just tacked on.

I've made these bonuses EXTRA special and each could have been a separate course on its own... BUT instead of purchasing these separately for a premium fee...

You're getting them for free as an exclusive part of this programme.

Bonus #1 - Fingerpicking the Blues!

(Access Immediately)

How to play two stunning blues pieces

If you love the blues, you’ll love this. Learn to play two distinct 12-bar blues pieces that will give you hours of fingerpicking blues fun!

"The Texas Storm Shuffle" - Enjoy this new and fresh take on the 12-bar shuffle, reimagined for fingerpickers and inspired by the styles of Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Dusty Road Pickin' Blues - Dive into a fun 12-bar Travis picking piece, drawing inspiration from Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, and Mississippi John Hurt.

Both pieces come with exciting turnarounds and plenty of fun licks and riffs that you can apply to ANY 12-bar blues.

These are brand-new tunes that will add depth and flair to your fingerpicking playing, help you learn and understand the blues, and of course, apply and develop the skills from the 21-day course.

Bonus #2 - The CAGED Scales!

(Access Immediately)

New System: Unlock the Power of Scales - The Fingerpicker's Way

Fact: Some areas of the fretboard matter more than others.

That’s why, unlike most approaches, I’ve developed a "less is more" system for teaching the fretboard and scales. Instead of overwhelming you with countless "box" shapes, notes, and methods...

In this refined system, we’ll focus on five key scales taught the practical way. This approach will save you time and mental energy while expanding your "pitch range" and fretboard knowledge—without the usual headaches.

Play the five most common scales using my new unique two-part approach to learning the fretboard to help you "unlock" new musical possibilities.
Proper technique and foundations - Learn exactly which fingers to use for smooth, efficient playing and get a powerful timing exercise to sharpen your groove.
A deeper understanding - Discover how to learn the notes "on the fly", the biggest mistake I see most people make, and how to save potentially a tonne of time.
Simple and effective "tricks" - Use this simple root note "trick" to make every lick or melody sound highly musical and with ease.

The bottom line: If you want to master the fretboard, explore the guitar’s "dusty end" with confidence and apply these scales in real-world playing, this exciting bonus will show you how.

Bonus #3 - The Power Of DADGAD Tuning!

(Access Immediately)

Discover A New World Of Flavours With This Classic Alternate Tuning

DADGAD tuning unlocks a rich world of resonant tones and unique chord possibilities. Popular in folk, Celtic, and fingerstyle music, it’s been used by legends like Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” is one of the most famous examples), Pierre Bensusan, Bert Jansch, Richard Thompson, and Andy McKee.

This tuning is easy to learn, yet sparks endless creativity, opening up fresh musical ideas. Though I’ve only taught it privately until now, you’ll soon explore exciting chord tones, craft evocative sounds, and create distinctive voicings.

In this DADGAD lesson, I’ll cover the essentials to elevate your fingerstyle playing and turbocharge your creativity like the above pros have all done. We’ll also apply patterns from the 21-day course to solidify your skills.

Bonus #4 - Timeless Tunes!

(Access Immediately)

Songs That Use the Fingerpicking Patterns!

How to Use the core patterns to Play 7 Stunning Songs

In this exciting bonus course, I'll teach you how to play seven stunning songs, applying the essential patterns from the course to a variety of legendary tunes.

You'll learn to fingerpick these songs in two fun ways.

The setlist includes timeless classics like "Midnight Special," Scarborough Fair," "House of the Rising Sun," "Red River Valley," and "When The Saints Go Marching In", and even a Christmas classic.

All arrangements are BRAND NEW and not taught before. They're designed to be suitable for ANYONE to play, no matter what your skill level.

Use this course now or any time in the future.

Here’s how it works:

The Fun Rhythm: Apply fingerpicking patterns to the song's chords, complete with intros, embellishments, and fills. Perfect for singing along—or just playing the accompaniment if you're not a singer.
The Famous Melody: Learn the recognisable melody which is simple to play on one or two strings and, of course, gives the song its signature sound. It's simple and any guitarist can learn these.

The best part?

You can jam them with me!

Play the rhythm while I play the melody (or vice versa—I recommend trying both) and experience what my students have done with me for years in my studio.

Just pick your part and press play on the audio tracks.

What’s included:

Essentials: Get TABs, notation, and a series of audio tracks to make jamming a breeze (You get both full and slower speed audio tracks to download) (Note: this course is not a video course, but is taught via TAB, notation, and audio)
Play It All: Master both the rhythm-picking patterns and melodies for each song.
Jam Along: Practise with the provided audio tracks, applying all the techniques you’ve learned, just like you're jamming with me!

All the skills you will learn in the 21 days will be applied to this bonus course to help you play more songs to a higher standard while improving your skillset and adding more passion to your songs and playing.

...And to Keep You Motivated...

After the 21 Days Are Over You'll "Unlock" These Other Bonuses

I want you to make both short- and long-term progress.

...Not just during the 21-day course... BUT forever too.

That's why the following bonuses are all specifically designed to help you develop the skills from the main course... and run further and faster with them...

Bonus #5

The Art of Tremolo Picking

Spice Up Your Playing With This Delightful Technique

"Tremolo picking" is a classical technique used by legends such as Julian Bream, Francisco Tarrega, and Andrés Segovia that will add a unique, captivating, and rapid-fire "shimmer" to your playing.

It can infuse your music with more intensity, more emotion, and more depth...

Captivating: Tremolo picking played well can add a unique emotional depth and intensity to both gentle and vibrant pieces.
Simplified: I'm teaching this as if you've never even heard of the technique. We start slowly adding one finger at a time, and we use a step-by-step approach—with the aim of reducing the learning curve drastically.
Dexterity: A funny thing happened when I first learned this technique—my picking hand fingers became noticeably more fluid and nimble, making my general fingerpicking feel smoother and more effortless. Not only is it a potent technique, but it’s also an excellent way to build dexterity.

Just like some of the other techniques taught in this course... I have never shared this outside of my studio before, but I'm excited to share it with you!

Enjoy this lesson, it is so much fun!

Bonus #6

"If Hendrix Was A Fingerpicker!"

How to fingerpick with supreme rhythm, embellishments, and excitement

Imagine if Jimi Hendrix were a fingerpicker!

In this fun, light-hearted yet practical bonus, that's exactly what we're exploring.

Hendrix was a master of playing with explosive energy, grooves, and pulsating rhythms. Here, we are taking his signature techniques and infusing them into your fingerstyle playing. You'll learn to bring formidable rhythm to your fingerpicking and add dynamic embellishments like hammer-ons and slides, to create hypnotic grooves.

If Hendrix fingerpicked, this is how I imagine he’d do it—blending rhythm, melody, and excitement into every note. You can learn how to do so too.

Bonus #7

A Simple One-Time Payment

You have the choice.

You can pay for the course in one go or split the payment into two.

But rest assured, if you choose the split payment option, we will only take one payment today and one in 30 days' time.

We all know there are websites promising you "freebies" or a 1-month free trial, but then they secretly stick you into a program that charges your card every month.

This is NOT one of them.

There's NO hidden "continuity program" or anything like that.

Questions You May Have???

What if I miss a day?

No worries, you can either catch up the next day or carry on from the new day. Each lesson is unique - they all will help you build your fingerpicking base, but they are designed to work as standalone lessons. Even where one lesson references another, there will be links to that lesson on the page so you can quickly catch up.

Who’s this course for?

Whether you’re just starting out, refining your technique, or looking for new challenges, this course is designed for all skill levels.

Beginners who need guidance and structure.
Early Intermediates looking to refine their technique.
Advancing Players who want to add new layers to their fingerpicking.

Will I be learning purely new stuff?

No, you will learn a mix of new stuff but also brand-new spins on other fingerpicking essentials. It's key to build on what you already know, refresh the essentials, and avoid overwhelm... but of course, teaching you new tricks, techniques, and tools is a huge part of this course too.

Do I need to have used Fingerstyle 101 for this to work?

No, but it will be useful if you've used Fingerstyle 101 (even just part of it). Everything here is taught with clarity, so don't worry if not.

Is this a video course or is everything taught in TAB?

Both. You get videos and the full TAB and notation for every lesson (excluding the songs bonus, which is taught via TAB, notation, and audio).

Here's what happens next...
