Learn How to Play Beautiful Fingerstyle Guitar Songs With a Simple “3-Step Method” That Works Whatever Your Skill Level

Watch the video below to see me play some examples from the course and see if you can spot what I’m doing.

The Fingerstyle Collection is my brand new, 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 the cool riffs, runs, hammer-ons, slides, and other fun stuff.

It can be challenging, but I will explain exactly how to do this and how even beginners can play this style using the breakthrough, “3-Step Method”.

First though, read on to find out how you can…

The following songs are just some of what is in the course. These will help you learn the key fingerstyle techniques as used in fingerpicking folk, blues, Travis picking styles, classical, pop, and more…

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

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 songs from the course

Some of the students from the above video are my private students. Others are those who have “beta-tested” the course.

One student from the video above told me she was so nervous when she first rang me for lessons… that her heart was throbbing.

Barely any of these students felt confident at first, BUT…

This video shows how much they have grown (and they haven’t stopped yet!)

Put bluntly, if they can do it, there is no reason why you can’t too.

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

The songs were based around elegant simplicity, BUT…

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

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

Not focusing too much on chords.

Chords are important of course, there is no getting around that, but…

If you focus too much on chords, it is easy to lose sight of the melody.

Doing this will make the music sound “wishy-washy” at best and unrecognisable at worst.

Stop learning songs like this and being stuck.

I teach my students this instead…

This is the single most important key to being able to play beautiful fingerstyle guitar.

There are other important factors that build upon this but…

You must focus on the melody – especially at first.

When strumming, there is more emphasis on chords.

With fingerstyle playing though, the melody is king and queen.

The melody, if you are unsure, is the bit you hum – the tune you sing.

You can learn how to play this style using the “3-Step Method”.

Here’s a summary of how the “3-Step Method” works…

Start by focusing on step 1.

Get it sounding good.

Then all the elegant simplicity will simply build on top of it.

Do this and you will then be able to play lovely fingerstyle guitar with less frustration and have more fun.

The course is straight to the point – the right lessons at the right time so…

You can become a more musical guitarist who has more fun on the instrument today.

No more searching around on the internet or YouTube for hours on end, trying to find a song that will suit your ability. Here, they are all ordered for you.

Plus, these are the arrangements my private students have loved the most over the years.

(Out of 100+ arrangements I have taught).

This means you will have confidence knowing you are learning the best of the best songs I have taught.

The Fingerstyle Collection is not just about songs, but it’s about improving all of your fingerstyle playing. This is just some of what else is in the course…

Plus, enter the fun fingerstyle competition. Every few months you can enter the competition. The winners from each category (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) will get prizes posted to them.

Entering is fun and will challenge you to keep improving.

If you find technology frustrating or difficult, do not worry.

If you have any problems, you will get an email address to contact us, where me or my technical support team will help you.

When you join the course today, you will also get my course, The Chord Changing “Jump Start” Course. (This is currently only available in my $37-per-month Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy).

This is the only course out there that teaches you how to fix your chord changes systematically. No stone is left unturned. ALL the secrets of smooth chord changes will reveal themselves inside.

You will get instant, lifetime access to this course.

The lessons in this course will help you fix bad habits, improve your technique, and become a more musical guitarist.

Everything is laid out in a step-by-step and structured way, but with the right flexibility to suit you.

This course (or any other for that matter) won’t magically make you sound like Paul Simon, James Taylor, or Segovia overnight.

If you want “hacks” or “tricks” or shortcuts, please realise this is NOT what this course is about. Guitar playing takes effort, there is no way around that. It can and should be fun, but it still requires effort. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

If you DO NOT want to practise or apply the lessons inside, this course won’t help.

On the other hand, if you want to see real results in 30 days of practice, and play beautiful fingerstyle…

This course could be what you need. I say that because…

I realised early on in my playing I wasn’t the most “naturally” talented guitarist.

As I would fluff playing the ‘Sound of Silence’ my mom would shout upstairs, “Shut up!!!”

She really did want the ‘Sound of Silence’!

Despite those early days being a slog, I went from being awful to getting pretty good. Once I really got going, my progress rapidly sped up.

Now, dare I say it, a more “natural” guitarist or teacher may not understand your journey like I do.

In this course, I share with you the things I wish I had known back then.

These are the things to watch out for, the breakthroughs, those “aha” moments, and all the other nuggets of wisdom I picked up from teaching people like you over the years.

It is all in The Fingerstyle Collection and…

Each lesson inside will help you on the path to faster fingerpicking success.

If you are retired but busier than ever OR you work 50 hours and have four kids…

And want more “time to play”…

Once you get the ball rolling with this course, you will feel more inspired, more motivated, and you will probably suddenly find…

You make more time to play and have a burning desire to practise the guitar every day.

Imagine in 30 days’ time, you look at yourself in the mirror…

Feeling confident and proud of what you have achieved and the music you can now play…

You sit with your guitar, as the birds chirp above you while you relax in the evening sun as you…

Play beautiful music that makes your heart sing and…

You let the music wash over you while it adds joy and a peaceful tranquillity to your day.

You can have all this.

If you are keen on this, here’s what to do right now…

Help yourself make the most of your practice time and have more enjoyment!

If you are curious about how the book is structured, this is how...

It is made up of 3 parts which build upon each other in a clear and steady way
