All you have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions inside and practice them for 20 minutes per day.


That means better technique, greater confidence, a proper plan, extra songs, and more...


Speaking of songs, recently I got an email from a student called Geoff.


He loves fingerpicking and wanted to learn more songs. 


He asked, “Do you have a book or course on fingerstyle songs?"


Unfortunately, I didn’t but as this is what Geoff and the other students just like you ask for most…


...And because all the other courses out there teaching fingerstyle songs are way more complicated than they should be for beginners...


I made a new course called, The Fingerstyle Collection.


Read on to find out how you can get it today and add so much more joy to your guitar playing…

Introducing the Fingerstyle Collection


The Fingerstyle Collection is my step-by-step course. Here, you will learn the most beautiful fingerstyle arrangements I have ever taught.

If you are unsure of the meaning of the phrase, “fingerstyle arrangement”…

This is where you combine the melody (which is the tune), bass, and chords, from a song – all on guitar.

If you are feeling brave, you also add in cool riffs, runs, hammer-ons, slides, and other fun stuff.

Playing like this sounds exciting, but most people learn this way of playing backwards meaning they never really make any progress. 


You will know this if you've tried to learn songs for months or years and they still don't yet sound like the song (this is suprisingly very common). 


...But I will explain exactly how to play in this style and how even beginners can play this style using the breakthrough "3-Step Method".

So read on to find out how you can…

Build an exciting repertoire of songs with these beautiful arrangements

The following songs are just some of those from the course.


These songs will help you learn the key fingerstyle techniques as used in...


Fingerpicking folk, blues, Travis picking, classical, pop, and more…

  • Amazing Grace – a beautiful arrangement my students love
  • Spanish Romance – possibly the world’s most recognisable classical guitar piece
  • Yankee Doodle – a vintage tune for solo fingerstyle guitar
  • House of the Rising Sun – a unique Travis picking arrangement
  • Für Elise – Beethoven’s most famous piano piece, played on guitar!
  • Rockin’ Robin – a Travis-picked version of the Bobby Day/Michael Jackson classic
  • Whiskey in the Jar – the Thin Lizzy & Metallica song played fingerstyle!
  • Toccata and Fugue – the infamous and instantly recognizable “scary” tune as used in hundreds of movies and TV shows.
  • Scarborough Fair - Simon and Garfunkel's classic - a melodic beginner arrangement of the '60s fingerpicking folk song.
  • Plus, learn a fingerstyle blues, a Mozart piece, and… even a fun fingerpicked version of ‘Happy Birthday’, and more…

This course is about more than just learning songs, though. It is also about developing ALL of your skills so you can be a better musician. More on that in a moment but first…

These students have been learning to fingerpick beautiful music – you can too

If you ever feel like you’re “too old to learn”, have no “natural talent” or “no ear for music”…

Take inspiration and see what you can be learning yourself in the following video.

Watch now to see these students play a few pieces from the course

If you are stuck trying to play real songs, “The 3-Step Method” is the answer

From the above video, can you see and hear how these songs were not complex?

The songs were based around elegant simplicity, and…

The students did NOT need to play painstaking chords or cram in lots of potentially frustrating chord changes…

Yes, like anything, these students practised the songs BUT they benefited from avoiding this one thing in particular

Not focusing on chords.


Chords are important but…

“One of the keys to professional sounding fingerstyle songs is to…

Focus on the Melody

This is critical.


The melody is the single most important thing that will allow you to play beautiful fingerstyle guitar.


There are other important factors that build upon this but…


With fingerstyle playing, the melody is king and queen.


Learn how to play this style using the3-Step Method”


Here’s a summary of this unique but simple method…

  1. 1
    Learn and perfect the melody one note at a time (essential)
  2. 2
    Add in 1-2 bass notes per bar (important)
  3. 3
    Throw in all the fun, wild, and exciting extras (a big bonus)

Start by focusing on step 1 and then all the elegant simplicity will build on top of it. In the course, you will learn the exact steps to play like this.

This is an excellent course. I've looked at loads of others and yours is by far the best. The videos are tremendous, sharp, and clear. Many thanks for all you are doing for us it's clear you really care about your students.

Not only have you provided some songs I can learn that sound good, you include all the nuanced details of how a guitar player deals with fingerings that may be difficult for the student, e.g. I have arthritis in the middle joints of both middle fingers.

I really enjoy the way you teach and slowly take us through each bar on the video. I often slow the video down and loop through until I get it.

BILL CLARKE

Enjoying the course very much and I like your teaching style. Other online courses I’ve tried aimed at beginners rush through the lessons so you don’t get time to take things in. You accept that your students are not yet up to concert performance levels so shape your lessons accordingly!


I must be improving, thanks to your course, as the cat doesn’t run away any more when I start playing!
