Acoustic Fingerstyle Level 3

Guitar Skills

Difficulty

Intermediate

This course includes the following 4 units

Unit 1

Chord Breakout

We're working with the CAGED chord positions to show you how to start breaking out of the first 3 or 4 frets of the guitar and create a far more expansive fingerstyle piece!

Unit 2

Celtic King

It unit 2 we're taking a big swing to a completely different style, with an overarching aim to massively improve your legato playing.

Unit 3

Travis Picking

In unit 3 we start a slightly new quest... Travis picking! You are now in a position to take on this very common style, made famous by Merle Travis.

Unit 4

Ode To Tommy

In this unit we put everything that we've learnt together in an "Ode to Tommy" referring of course to Tommy Emmanuel.

Introduction

Complete the epic journey

Welcome to our Acoustic Fingerstyle Level 3 course! Thomas is back to take you on the final leg of our epic journey to fingerstyle greatness. With the completion of Level 1 & 2 you will have the core concepts truly under your belt, and this course is where we really start to dive into the fun stuff! Travis picking, chord melody, groove, going beyond the basic chords and so much more.

Acoustic fingerstyle is like playing piano on the guitar. This is far more expansive!

Thomas McConville

View the guitar as more than just scales, solos and powerchords

Our fantastic tutor Thomas has spent a guitar playing lifetime honing his acoustic fingerstyle sills, and in this series he has been taking you through from foundations to more intermediate techniques. This course takes those ideas to the top level, encouraging a broader view of the instrument beyond scales and chords. Inspired by John Mayer and Tommy Emmanuel's fingerstyle mastery, we demonstrate how the guitar's potential is limitless! This course condenses Thomas' lifelong journey, to accelerate your learning, refine the techniques we covered in previous courses, and foster musical freedom. Thomas also introduces some new concepts like legato, Travis picking, and creative experimentation, giving you full freedom of expression on the acoustic guitar!
