Beginner Blues Fingerpicking
(ideal for complete beginners)
What’s the quickest way to make your guitar playing sound great? Learn the blues. Blues guitar follows a relatively simple structure - easy to learn and quick to become fluent in.
In a matter of days, you can learn the blues patterns played by legends like Muddy Waters, BB King, Eric Clapton and others and start sounding great. Because this course takes a fingerstyle approach to the blues, it is ideal for guitarists who enjoy playing the guitar alone - but it’s also great for playing with other people!
Maybe you've tried to pick up the guitar before but failed? Or maybe you're just interesting in trying something new - but you're not very musical? Maybe you have small or fat hands or fingers? None of these should block your progress!
Learning the blues is a great way for you to progress your fingerpicking. You can learn the basic structure and then easily learn a few blues lead licks -which will blow away your friends and help you add a bit of melodic playing without signing up for a university degree!
Most of all, playing the blues in a fingerstyle approach is great fun. You’ll love each and every minute that you spend learning and playing it - all while improving your technique and expanding your repertoire.

What does life look like with this course?
Once you begin:
You’ll start off with the very basics such as learning the string names, a few chords and how to read guitar notation.
Then I get that guitar into your hands as quickly as possible to play some simple exercises slowly. We learn the basic blues structures and chords – and then we fingerpicking through them. You’ll play some bass patterns with your thumb and some chord accompaniment with your fingers.
You’ll focus on playing notes cleanly and we’ll add elements each day to build up your knowledge. You will be able to improve by tackling one exercise per day and you can limit your practice sessions to just 15 minutes a day.
Due to the structure of the course, you will feel a huge improvement in your guitar playing that is almost effortlessly acquired. Each lesson will give you a new stepping stone, and the sum total of all the lessons is that your playing will take a huge leap.
You will not encounter any ‘jumps’ in the material that suddenly mean that you are lost or unable to continue the course because I supply tips at the start of each lesson for those who found the last exercise challenging.
Once you finish:
Your musicianship and fingerpicking will have jumped a huge level and people watching you play guitar will be genuinely impressed.

- Learn 6 blues songs

Students will need to have a guitar. That’s it!
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.
Well that’s why you’re here – to learn something new!
People who aren’t very good yet at driving take driving lessons and people who aren’t good at swimming take swimming lessons.
You don’t need any existing skills to get started. The course is called “zero to fingerpicker” so I do not assume any prior ability.
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.
