Welcome to Play Acoustic Guitar 5: Fingerstyle Principles for intermediate to late intermediate students of Acoustic guitar. This Acoustic Learning Path core course is presented by 4 top TrueFire educators: Tommy Emmanuel, Peppino D'Agostino, Muriel Anderson, and Brooks Robertson. The Fingerstyle Principles curriculum is comprised of select acoustic guitar lessons from the educators' existing TrueFire course libraries.
Fingerstyle guitar technique takes full advantage of the instrument's polyphonic qualities, which is one of the main reasons it's so popular across so many styles of music. You'll find fingerstyle techniques in blues, rock, jazz, country, classical, folk, singer-songwriter, and dozens of other genres and subgenres. While specific fingerstyle techniques will vary across musical styles, they all call for finger and thumb independance so that you can play a bass line, a rhythm part, and a melody line simultaneously. The video guitar lessons in this core course will equip you with the requisite skills to take your fingerstyle technique to the next level.
Play Acoustic Guitar 5: Fingerstyle Principles is organized into 3 sections. In the first section, Tommy Emmanuel presents an extraordinarily effective method for learning how to play fingerstyle from the ground up. In Section 2, Brooks Robertson enhances your basic skills with additional fingerstyle principles and techniques. In the third and final section, Muriel Anderson and Peppino D'Agostino present 5 performance studies to prime your repertoire and put your fingerstyle skills to good use.
