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 adults...
....aged 40+ how to fingerpick properly, play with great technique and learn guitar in the most fun way possible so they love every second of their playing.
In a moment you will learn exactly what is in the book but first....
There is a big problem in the world of guitar playing and fingerpicking in particular...
So many guitarists are struggling.
If you practice so quietly in fear of someone hearing you play, you may be struggling too.
You may feel unmusical.
You may struggle alone each day, wondering why you can't play and...
Why learning guitar seems so easy for others.
I know I did.
The truth is, we have all felt that way, and eventually some guitarists overcome these hurdles but more often than not...
The guitar just gets locked away in the attic...
Along with the lifelong dream of being able to play beautiful music.
...BUT did you know...
The problem is NOT with the student.
The real problem is the fact that most guitar tuition is too random and...
There is no precise plan for the student to follow. The thing is though...
Successful students nearly always have guidance, a clear path to follow, and a specific plan
I know this from my many 1000s of hours teaching students in real life.
I also know creating a plan yourself is hard, time consuming, and full of trial and error. (I have been there and done it).
That is why a clear path for you has been put together in a book which covers the basics and much more...
All taught in a step-by-step method, taking you from lost or confused...
To helping you become the fingerpicking guitarist you dream of being....
Introducing Fingerstyle 101 (the brand new and massively updated 2nd edition)
Fingerstyle 101 is an easy-to-follow book all laid out for you in a simple to follow way. Here are just some of the things you will learn in the book:
In fact, a new student called Lynn told me this about Paul Simon...
She loves his music but has struggled to learn his songs for decades.
For years her fingers were sore and her chord changes slow. She almost gave up for good but last week Lynn emailed me and sent a photo saying:
"Hi Dan, I just want to say, so far so good with the book. I love how it assumes you are an absolute newbie to fingerstyle. This is exactly what I need and my progress has been great so far. Thanks for all the tips, it really helps". 🙂 - Lynn K
If you want to get the same lessons Lynn did in the same step-by-step guide, you can below...
Here is a little more of what you will learn inside:
And talking of practice...
Did you know some good old fashioned music practice can even help you to reduce your brain age?
A recent BBC study* has proven creativity can reduce your brain age by 6 years in just one month. In the book you will learn a specific exercise for this.
Here are just a few other highlights from the book:
Fingerstyle 101 takes you every step of the way from being a frustrated or stuck guitarist to being a confident, skilful and happy fingerpicker!

Remember, if you are over 40, have slogged away for ages and you still find fingerpicking hard, this book may just be the breath of fresh air you need.
Everything in the book is organised in order of difficulty in 3 parts from the absolute basics upwards... making the journey for you more fun!
- 1Part I - Learn the fundamentals of fingerpicking - how to play with great technique, be comfortable with the basics, fix the most common fingerpicking mistakes and get a rock-solid fingerpicking foundation.
- 2Part II - Discover the 10 most exciting, fun, and beautiful fingerpicking patterns. Each starts off simply so you will always be able to play beautiful music no matter what your current skill level.
- 3Part III - How to develop as a fingerpicking guitarist consistently. This includes how to learn faster, improve your memory, enjoy your practice sessions, use your "mind's eye" to remember things easier, and more!
There are some exciting bonuses which you will find out about in a moment, but first, let's dispel a common myth...
You might think you are too old to learn but this is NOT true...
You are NEVER too old to learn!
Age is not a barrier.
Remember, if you are like most of my students, at first you will likely have doubts about your playing.
I have taught dozens of guitarists who started when they were over 60.
They doubted they were good enough at first but they made it and now they love playing and fingerpicking every day. Some jam with friends and some even record songs.
Everyone has doubts but be aware you DO have the ability to be a good guitarist and have fun on the guitar.
The only caveats are NOT giving up and using a proper plan and proven method - both make the journey easier.
If you are fed up of hopping around or using random YouTube videos where the instructor loses you along the way, then this book is for YOU.
71-year-old Pam would cry because guitar playing was so hard, but watch her now
If you have doubts about your ability, watch and be inspired by the video below.
You will see Pam (and other students) play pieces from the book. Watch and see what you can be doing on your guitar too.
If you ever feel like you have no natural talent, realise this...
Pam and the others did NOT feel confident at first either, but to be frank...
If they can do it... There is no reason why you can’t too.
It is time to STOP being a frustrated guitarist and instead become 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?
A little jam with them if they play an instrument can mean lots of wonderful moments and memories.
If you have struggled with fingerpicking previously, remember, you too can go from frustrated to happy and have more fun on the guitar, both on your own and with your family...
Just like I have with my own son, Archie.
Don't waste time, don't waste money - instead use a proven step-by-step fingerpicking plan
This book is full of years (and thousands of hours) worth of lessons and advice.
You could pay over £2000 ($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.
If you have waited until later on in life to learn guitar, don't waste any more time.
Listen to a few snippets of some of the audio examples below
Below is a little track featuring just some of the examples taken from the book.
If you like what you hear, you can learn how to play these pieces, with proper technique and with the proper steps, in just a few minutes.
20 minutes of practice per day, but for how long?
Is 20 minutes of practice a day enough?
I tell all students 20 minutes a day of practice is what you should aim for. Here is what you can expect to achieve when using this book along with a daily 20 minute per day commitment...
Of course, none of the above is possible if you do not practice but remember, 20 minutes a day is NOT a lot of time.
We can all make that time.

Here are the first bits of feedback from the readers of the 2nd edition
A few weeks before the book was on sale, I sent it to a handful of "beta test" students for feedback. Here is what they said...
GORDON LYNCH
Harrogate, UK
Dan’s second edition of Fingerstyle 101 has been tweaked by constructive customer feedback to develop the fingerpicking 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.”
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."
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 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 (Southampton, UK)
Beware! Fingerstyle 101 is NOT for advanced players or those who want a "quick fix"
If you have played for decades, or you can play loads of songs and are 100% 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 Emmanuel 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 want an enjoyable and easy-to-follow plan for your fingerpicking success, then this is for you.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
You are fully protected by my 100% Satisfaction Money-Back Guarantee. If you don't improve your fingerpicking, have more fun, and play with better technique in the next 90 days, just let me know and I will send you a prompt refund immediately, no questions asked.
I have no problem offering this kind of guarantee. Why?
The techniques I use to teach guitar work repeatedly for countless students of my own in real life. I know these techniques work. They’ll work for you too.
Because of this guarantee, there is no risk to you ordering right now.
If you want to get the book, don't hang around, and if you have wanted to improve on the guitar for some time, go for it - you deserve it.

I'm Dan from Birmingham UK (not Alabama).
I used to struggle on the guitar.
I don't want you to struggle like I did.
Teaching guitar to those who are learning later on in life is something I am passionate about.
That means - I want to teach you how to play with better technique, reduce tension and pain, be comfortable on the guitar and learn songs faster.
Ultimately, my mission is to help you have much more fun fingerpicking so you can cherish every moment with this wonderful instrument...
And do so with a smile on your face.
Dan Thorpe
