Fingerpicking Course Bundle
This fingerpicking bundle consists of the Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced courses.
These courses are targeted at the guitarist who tried to learn guitar and did learn a bit but never really got to the level they had hoped.
Fingerpicking is the best way to learn guitar. Period. As a teacher, I started teaching complete beginners the "advanced technique" of fingerpicking from day one (as a whim) and all those students still play to this day. Being musical and creative from day one is possible - even with one chord. But when we really put the time in to learn all the techniques step by step - even with 15 minutes a day, the progress in 3-6 months is remarkable.
This bundle is the teaching that I wish I had when I was learning guitar. I truly fell in love with fingerpicking the first time a friend showed me some techniques and I have prepared this material so you can get good in the shortest time possible - teaching you musicality, rhythm, tab, scales and more along the way!
But always to learn music and play something that sounds good.
One bundle - 3 courses!
Get these 3 courses in this Fingerpicking bundle!
Beginner Course
Play blues musically in the first few days
The course has five sections:
- Getting Started – some basic information, identifying string names, a few chords, reading tablature, using a metronome
- Fingerpicking Basics – the background to how fingerpicking works, the big rule, several fingerpicking patterns
- The Thumb – the key to getting that ‘two guitar effect’ is for the thumb to do the work of the bass player; alternating bass, walking bass, more fingerpicking patterns
- The Fingers – adding more advanced patterns to the right hand fingers, pinching, different sequence length and writing your own fingerpicking patterns
- Advanced – clear breakdowns of advanced techniques like Travis Picking and Clawhammer
Note that each section will advance your musicality but will primarily generate the outcome of you being able to play something new and challenging!

The course has three sections:
Advanced Rhythms & Polyrhythms
Windy & Warm –A deep dive into a classic Windy & Warm popularised by Chet Atkins and the techniques that drive the song
Deep River Blues – a deep dive into a classic Deep River Blues by Doc Watson and the techniques that drive the song
- Advanced Techniques – harmonizing scales, adding percussive elements, alternate tunings
Learn how to sound like several guitarists playing at once!
This course will transform you as a musician. The practice of Lead Fingerpicking is one where you play lead guitar (e.g. blues riffs) while also playing a steady bass.
You can learn this technique in 30 days with my structured approach!
Today you can play a few chords and even play some fingerpicking patterns.
After this intermediate course and continued into the Advanced course, you'll be a guitar player that causes people to say 'wow' when they watch you play.
You will be able to play any melody you like while keeping your bass line going and you will add chord strumming to both of those – giving you the effect of 3 guitarists playing at the same time.
I call this the '3 guitars' effect and this will completely transform how you see and play the guitar.

Complete beginner? This bundle is perfect for you.
New to Fingerpicking? – many of you will know some chords and songs – and somewill have some fingerpicking ability – but the Beginner course will still contain much you likely don’t know including alternate bass and Travis picking. It’s not that you want to miss the beginner course – you just want to skip the first half of it if it feels below your level. Don’t worry, it will get demanding soon enough.

Beginner / Intermediate Level? – The beginner course will get your fingerpicking fundamentals right – and teach you alternate bass and travis picking.
You may move quickly through it – which is great – but don’t skip it.
The Intermediate and Advanced courses go quite deep – but as always with my teaching style, we break everything down slowly and make slow, steady progress which really adds up after a few weeks.
People of every finger and hand size can play guitar.
Using your wrist and elbow correctly, your fingers will do just fine for the job we’ll ask them to do. I’ll show you what you need to know.

Absolutely not. I have students in their 80s who are fingerpicking beautifully.
If you tried to learn before and failed, I believe that it’s not your fault. Too many courses don’t give you musical reward in the first couple of hours of playing (unlike this course!). So give it a try – you have nothing to lose.
I have 50k students who testify that this system works.
But there is also a 30-day no-questions-asked money back guarantee. Email me using the contact form in the footer if you don’t feel like the course helped you to make progress.
This allows you to try the course without any risk.
Lead Fingerpicking is the ability to play a lead guitar line using individual guitar notes (rather than chords) at the same time as keeping a steady bassline going.
This makes your playing sound like 2 guitarists – one playing lead guitar and another playing bass. It’s an amazing skill to learn on guitar and it’s so much easier to master than people think. Follow the structured exercises in this course and find out for yourself.
Alternate Bass is a fingerpicking method that uses the thumb to play multiple alternated bass notes. Travis Picking is a way of playing thumb patterns and fingered strings to create a harp like effect. Piedmont Style is a blend of Travis Picking with chord strums to create a country blues fingerpicking effect.
