From the studio of guitar teacher, Dan Thorpe

Dear fingerpicking guitarist,

If you don`t already know, I`m Dan Thorpe, I’m NOT a world-famous guitarist and I don’t have a degree in music.

What I can tell you though, is that I am very experienced in teaching struggling beginner adults...

....aged 50+ how to fingerpick properly, play with great technique and in the most fun way possible so they love every second of their playing.

Dan Thorpe is an RGT qualified tutor who has taught over a hundred 50+ year old beginner fingerpickers from scratch

There is a big problem in the world of guitar playing and fingerpicking in particular...

He sat there, battling and trying his best to fingerpick a version of "Unchained Melody".

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He played with so much tension he was turning red.

His fingers were so sore they looked like they were about to bleed.

Yet the music was stilted, awkward and in his words, "barely sounds like the song".

This was 67 year old Mike on his first lesson with me.

He told me he felt like smashing his guitar up on many occasions.

I could totally understand and you may have felt this way too on numerous occasions (I did!).

For about a year, he tried YouTube videos, learning from a book, Googling help, but nothing worked.

All he wanted to do was play some lovely fingerpicking but it was so bad that Mike practiced so quietly so his wife would NOT hear him play.

The problem is not many guitarists are having fun, not many have decent technique and no one seems to have a specific plan to follow. 


Fingerpicking should be relaxing and enjoyable, NOT a physical workout where your fingers are left feeling sore!

On his first lesson Mike was sceptical. He had tried it all after all.

There were four big factors that were holding Mike back and they may be holding you back too.

Two of these factors are "technique" and having a "specific plan".

We got Mike doing a few specific ideas that immediately helped with his technique.

And I gave him a specific plan how to practice to get the most from with playing in just 20 minutes per day.

Over time Mike started to see little breakthroughs. 

He got there though and Mike`s story had an amazing ending.

The special moment came when he learnt how to play a fingerpicked version of The Beatles song "I will", which was his and his wife`s most treasured song.

He performed it front of her for their 35 wedding anniversary and the moment was special.

It even bought tears to her eyes.

Mike now plays with confidence and has a big smile when playing his favourite fingerpicking songs.

He even has the confidence to jam with his grandson. 

The solution for your fingerpicking success is to have an easy to follow, simple step by step plan

We got Mike to where he wanted to be using a simple plan that got over a year but in just 20 minutes of proper practice each day..

This plan is what I want to show you. 

I put this plan together in one simple and easy to follow book that has been tested, refined and now updated so you can become the fingerpicking guitarist you want to be. 

Imagine being like Mike and making little improvements each day so that in a year you are able to play the songs you love.

Well now you can...

Specifically written for those who are 50+, new to fingerpicking or have struggled with it in the past

The good news about learning an instrument is that it is good for your brain.

A recent BBC study* on identical twins even showed that doing something creative each day can reduce your brain age by 6 years in just one month!

The guitar is perfect for this sort of creativity. In the book I show you how.

You are NOT too old to learn!

Ages is not barrier.

Remember, if you are like most of my students, you will have doubts about your playing too. 

Everyone does but you DO have the ability to be a good guitarist and have fun on the guitar.

The hundreds of students I have taught just like you are testament to this.  

If you are fed up of random YouTube videos where the instructor loses you along the way, then this book is for YOU.

GET THE BOOK NOW!

You can go from being a frustrated guitarist, to one who has a constant happy smile and cherishes playing

How cool would it be to spend some time playing guitar with your child or grandchild?

Whatever the instrument, you can create some special cherished moments with them! 

You too can go from frustrated to happy and have even more fun on the guitar, for yourself and with family...

Just like I did with my own son, Archie.

Become a confident fingerpicker and have fun on the guitar for less than the price of a pack of strings!

The book is full of years and years and thousands of hours of lessons.

You could pay over $2500 per year in person to learn these things (just like my private students do) or you could get the book today at a fraction of that price. 

Remember though, the small price for “Fingerstyle 101” will save you more than just money.

It will also save you a LOT of your precious time.

A couple of weeks before releasing a product I send it off to a handful of students for review and feedback. Here is what they said....

GORDON LYNCH

Harrogate, UK

Dan’s second edition fingerstyle 101 has been tweaked  by  constructive customer feedback to develop the finger picking patterns to an even higher level than thought possible.

This book represents a gold mine of fingerstyle technique and advice for guitarists of all levels. Buy it.”

JIM MARSHALL

Pasadena, CA

Dan has done it again! This new, second edition of Fingerstyle 101 is another G.R.E.A.T. book. This is exactly what I, an old fart, need to boost my fingerstyle technique and motivation to practice. Thanks again, Dan!

REVEREND MICHAEL BOSTOCK

Newtownards, NI

Over the years, I have seen and attempted to follow several finger-picking guides but yours is succinct and very accessible. The text reads very well and is 'personable' - you get the feeling that you really do want your readers to achieve.

I have used several of Dan’s books. In my opinion, the second edition of Fingerstyle 101 is his best yet. The first edition was widely praised and became an Amazon bestseller.


The second edition is even better. It has even more practical tips and advice on mistakes to avoid.


It is ridiculously good value bearing in mind that it comes with downloadable audio and PDFs of all the exercises." - Mike Barron

Beware! NOT for guitarists, advanced players, or those who want a "quick fix"

If you have played for decades, can play loads of songs and are comfortable with fingerpicking, you may learn a few tricks but the book is probably not for you.

If you want to play like Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, Tommy Emmnauel or James Taylor in an hour, let me tell you, that ain`t gonna happen. 

The book is definitely NOT a quick fix but if you are over 50 and want an enjoyable and easy to follow plan for your fingerpicking success, then get yourself a copy today.

I`m Dan from Birmingham UK (not Alabama).

I used to really struggle on the guitar. I don`t want you to suffer like I did.

Teaching guitar to those who are learning later on in life and struggle is something I am passionate about.

That means play with better technique, reduce tension and pain, learn songs faster and have much more fun fingerpicking on your acoustic guitar.
