Course Summary

Have you completed the Beginner Course or already have a solid grasp on the fundamentals of fingerpicking? Then this is where things start to get really exciting!

This newly updated Intermediate Course picks up exactly where the Beginner Course left off — but now, we go deeper, much deeper. We continue to develop your all-round technique but also dive into the more advanced techniques and skills that you truly need in order to become a proficient fingerpicker.

In next to no time you’ll comfortably be able to fingerpick, strum, alternate the bass, play melodies and add percussive elements to your fingerstyle playing. Oh, and did I mention that's ALL AT THE SAME TIME!?

This course is a simple to follow, step-by-step blueprint that will carry you through the tricky intermediate stage of fingerstyle, the stage where too many people give up because of overwhelm and confusion. That doesn’t have to be you!

Let me put everything into focus for you, take all the guesswork out and guide you through to that fingerpicking freedom you deserve. I know you can do it!

Enroll now and let’s make your fingerpicking dreams come true!

Testimonials

First of all, this course gives my daily playing a structure. Starting with warming up, I get into a nice rhythm with my guitar. For me the lessons are good, not too complicated but always a step forward. Beautiful study pieces that I like to play with increasing accuracy. After working on the course, I keep on with your version of "Autumn Leaves" and I rehearsed "Solsbury Hill" before, so I may be somewhere in between a level 3 and 5. I was thinking which course would be right for me, but I did not regret choosing the intermediate level, enough to learn and not too complicated. So, Chris, thanks a lot for your fantastic work and help.

I already thought the original intermediate course was really good, so I'm surprised at how much better this one is so far!!!! I'm not too far in but I already feel like I've improved.

I felt kind of stuck - not exactly a beginner but definitely not really intermediate yet - and the first few lessons in the new course have helped a lot. And I'm trying to arrange a song by myself! Which is not something I ever thought I'd even attempt, but your content is really inspirational. So thank you!

I'm really getting a lot out of your Intermediate Fingerpicking course! It's challenging but well worth sticking with. I've seen great improvements in my fingerpicking since I started - especially in improving the accuracy of both hands. My left hand is now playing fretted notes without buzzing or muting adjacent strings and my right hand is way better in both speed and dexterity - thanks!

John
Student, Intermediate Course (1st edition)

I’m a lifelong musician but started guitar less than 1.5 years ago. My progress was stagnating over the past couple months until I started this intermediate fingerstyle course. These are short clear instructional videos with sheet/TAB music. Many of the new videos build on the previous. The percussive guitar stuff is so cool! I feel like I’ve gotten SO MUCH BETTER in just a week. Thank you for the excellent (inexpensive) product.

I've just finished your intermediate course and it provided exactly what I had hoped for and so much more. From start to finish there were constant rushes of excitement at learning new skills and feeling your technical ability improve. It is very encouraging when struggling to grasp a technique to hear you acknowledge this and encourage us to persist.

 Frequently Asked Questions 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
