The Complete Guide to Fingerstyle Guitar: Beginner Level (NEW & IMPROVED)
Your fingerstyle adventure starts right here! Lay the unshakeable foundations that will underpin your fingerpicking success for years to come.
Course Summary
Looking back to when I was first starting to fingerpick, I can see that my technique was horrible. I constantly picked with just my thumb and index finger, leaving my middle and ring completely redundant. My thumb was so unstable it would constantly play the wrong strings and my fingerpicking was uneven and clunky.
It’s safe to say that I was making all the classic mistakes - and it took me forever to correct them!
Based on many years of experience in learning, playing and teaching fingerpicking, I can confidently say that this is the course I wish I'd had when I was first starting out.
It's tailor-made to accompany you from your very first pluck to becoming a confident and well-rounded fingerpicker. Each lesson is meticulously crafted to ensure that you build a rock-solid foundation, providing everything you need to set you up for a lifetime of successful fingerpicking.
If you have an inkling that your technique isn’t quite right then please don’t wait to correct it! Every day you spend developing bad habits is time wasted, and you may even find yourself falling out of love with fingerpicking as a result.

Testimonials
I’ve unsuccessfully tried four or five other fingerpicking courses offered by various teachers on the internet. Your course is by far the best. The lessons are brief, so I’m not overwhelmed at each step. You offer many times more picking patterns to learn than anyone else, which helps to conquer boredom and widens the variety of material.
Jeff
Student, Beginner Course (2nd edition)
I have just started fingerstyle in the last few months after strumming along to songs for years. I have found the course very good and packed with plenty of content to master at my own pace. I have always liked fingerstyle and now feel it is achieveable.
Colin
Student, Beginner Course (2nd edition)
The learning curve is perfect, and beautifully crafted for any level of player, in fact, I would recommend this to competent guitarists if you want to discipline your self on the ins and outs of using both your hands to their full potential.
Gary
Student, Beginner Course (2nd edition)
Student, Beginner Course (2nd edition)
I’m back with the Fingerstyle Volume 1 revised edition and am loving it. I’m now into the 15 Exercises and am up to 110 bpm – confidence is building. This updated version seems better to me as it feels a little tighter and less rushed in the instruction.
Ian
Student, Beginner Course (2nd edition)
Lessons are easy to follow and progress in difficulty. It has been very helpful to me to learn and progress while learning more than a dozen songs, 3 of those are early intermediate level! A year ago it was hard to imagine I would be playing "Dust in the Wind", "Wonderful Tonight" and "Landslide"! I made a few recordings of myself playing, which I posted on my Facebook page and got many positive comments. A few friends that knew I started guitar last year were surprised about my progress. And one of the main reasons was your courses. So thank you!
Nick
Student, Beginner Course (2nd edition)
I am loving this course. It’s so well structured and the lessons flow from one to the other so nicely.
This one is a classic for learning. I will be going back to it over the years to keep my fingers and my brain agile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get access to the whole course at once?
Yes, you aren't required to complete one section before moving to the next. However, I strongly recommend that you follow the sequence set out in the course because it has been designed in a logical order to help you learn faster.
What do I need to complete the course?
You simply need internet access and a guitar. The courses are not downloadable so you will need an internet connection good enough for streaming. All course materials are included as downloadable files so you can work on these away from the computer if you choose.
What if I need help?
If you have a problem or any questions then just use the 'Support' link at the bottom of the page or email hello@sixstringfingerpicking.com.
What if I want a refund?
I hope you really enjoy the course but if you find it's not right for you then I offer a 30 day money back guarantee. To request a refund use the 'Support' link at the bottom of the page or email hello@sixstringfingerpicking.com.
Does the course include tabs for the popular songs you teach?
No, purchasing a course does not include access to popular song tabs. Due to copyright the song lessons do not include tabs but there are links on the song lesson pages so you can buy the tabs separately, which ensures that the royalties are paid to the rights holders.
How does the payment plan work?
You'll pay the full course fee but spread over three monthly payments. You'll get instant access to the whole course and lifetime access after completion of the final payment. If you cancel your payments part way through then access to the course will be removed. The 30 day money back guarantee still applies so if you find the course isn't for you within 30 days then you can cancel the payment plan and have your first payment refunded. Please see the Terms & Conditions.
