This course includes the following 4 units

Unit 1

The Grab

In this first unit, Thomas will be introducing you to the idea of "grabbing chords". Everything we've done up to this point has been working with single fingerpicking, which is an essential foundation.

Unit 2

The Sweep

Our next challenge is to take the basic concept from the previous unit and level it up by introducing more complex chord shapes and quicker changes

Unit 3

The Slap

We're going to take another big step up in this unit, by introducing percussion to our fingerstyle practice. We often call this technique "the slap", as we add a literal hit to the guitar strings on the 2nd and 4th beat of the bar.

Unit 4

The Melody Maker

For our final unit, we will take everything we have learned so far and put it all together in this beautiful piece.

Introduction

The next step

Completed Fingerstyle level 1? It's time for level 2. We continue this course where Level 1 left off, meaning it is a direct sequel to the first Level. This course is all about building on the basics and fundamentals of level 1, and developing some very well known and exciting techniques, essential to the genre! These techniques take your fingerstyle basics and really bring them to life. We also advance your playing with more melody lines within the chords. We put this all together in a course that skilfully guides you through the next steps of your fingerstyle journey.

If you love the melodic and percussive style of playing, then this course will light you up. I'll teach you how to build these skills piece by piece, with some fun and beautiful songs to guide us along the way!

Chords, melody & drums!

This whole course is a progression towards being able to play melody, chords and percussion, all in one! Pretty cool, right? As we work through the units, we develop all the skills you need to be able to piece together intricate fingerstyle parts confidently and with some serious groove. As well as that, we dive into more complicated chords, such as 7th shapes, and finally talk about the theory behind these pieces. Terms like "secondary dominant" & "modal interchange" will feature massively! Don't worry, we'll make it simple for you, so that you can use it and recognise it in your own tracks!
