Course Overview
Learn fingerstyle and fingerpicking techniques as played in the tradition of folk, blues and country guitar
Taught by Grammy Award winning guitarist John Konesky, these fingerpicking techniques will take you from basic to advanced. They include folk style, basic chords, Travis picking, acoustic blues, and how to play in style of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and other greats.
You'll learn every technique you'd ever need to master acoustic guitar, including: how to make chord changes effortlessly, adding rhythmic elements such as the chuck and rhythmic slap, a nifty little trick that lets you totally change the sound and tone of a chord with just one finger, learning hammer-on and pull-off chords, and a myriad of new chords, pseudo bar chords, strum patterns, and much more.

The course so far has been excellent and the teacher has such an amazing way of getting his message across and building up your guitar skills without you even realising it.

It's ok, but need PDFs and I just feel like the teacher is noodling, not really teaching!
