No, you will learn a mix of new stuff but also new spins on the lessons inside Fingerstyle 101. I think it's essential for lessons to build on what you already know.

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

In short, no, but it will be useful if you've used Fingerstyle 101, even just parts of it. Everything here is taught with clarity so don't worry if you haven't completed Fingerstyle 101.

Yes, but there are five main fingerpicking patterns I used as a core to teach the new ideas... but there are also some new and exciting patterns including playing in different time signatures, 3/4 time

Own the world of fingerpicking —explore distinct patterns that make folk and classical songs come alive in your hands.

Premium Extra #1

Teach you any song!

Get the TAB and notation and audio for ANY song you like.

Is there a song you'd love to learn such as the song from your first dance at your wedding? A song that reminds you of a loved one?

Maybe you've tried learning this song but the arrangement was too hard...

If so, this will be perfect for you.

I'll arrange the song in a VERY simple way while making it sound stunning and easy to learn.

Note: The song has to be realistic for you to learn and not a crazy long epic song with many parts. If the song is rare, I'll need a video link so I can transcribe it for you. no jazz songs or heavy metal or that is not really my forte! (Please allow 2 weeks for this to be created).

Premium Extra #2

the CAGED scales

Discover how to play the C A G E D scales.

No fluff - no filler.

Unlike most teachers, I'll only teach you how to play these scales on the most important parts of the fretboard.

This means you do not need to learn lots of shapes.

Instead, you'll play the scales in the ONLY two places that will increase your range, dynamism, and fretboard knowledge with more ease than the convential way of learning scales.

Plus, you'll learn what the notes are AND how to use the scales in the real world by creating amazing song intros/fills with them.

Practical scales just got more fun!

I was tempted to make this lesson a standalone course such is it's power - but you get it all for free here.
