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.


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

So many guitarists out there are struggling. 

You may be one of those who play guitar so quietly as you fear somebody may hear you.

You may feel unmusical and talentless.

You might even struggle alone each day, wondering why you can't do it and...

Why all the time and money you wasted on courses, books and YouTube still don't help.

I know I did. 

The truth is, we all feel that way, and eventually, some guitarists overcome their hurdles but more often than not...

The guitar just gets locked away in the attic...

Along with a lifelong desire of being able to play beautiful music for themselves, 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.

Beginner and struggling guitarists need guidance, a clear path to follow, and a plan. 

I know this from my many 1000s of hours of teaching real people, but...

Now, this clear path has been put together in a course that covers these bases and much more...

All in a step-by-step method taking you from lost or confused...

...To helping you become the fingerpicking guitarist you have dreamt of being...

Introducing Fingerstyle 101 (the brand-new and massively updated 2nd edition)

Fingerstyle 101 (2nd edition) is an easy-to-follow course all laid out for you in a simple-to-follow way.

Here are just some of the things you will learn in the course:

  • A brand-new and massively updated version that features a wealth of new techniques, fingerpicking patterns, fun tips, and more (over 3 times the content of the original edition), giving you a complete guide to fingerpicking guitar.
  • Learn 10 stunning fingerpicking patterns that will allow you to play 1000s of songs. These are probably the only patterns you will ever need to know, yet some are rarely taught.
  • Specifically written for those over 40 and learning later on in life - this means you will learn the patterns and techniques needed to play the styles you love - e.g. folk, classic pop, Travis picking, and more... 
  • Discover my unique "T.E.S.T. Method" of learning fingerpicking guitar - a hybrid "best of the best" method, combining proper technique with a laid back yet scientifically proven method of learning.
  • Learn the exact techniques that the pros use - techniques that legends such as Paul Simon, James Taylor, and many more use to fingerpick to a high standard.
  • How to play without pain, meaning no more sore fingers, no more frustration so you can move your fingers with real freedom... possibly for the first time.
  • A 20-minute-per-day routine to practise these methods -  yes it takes practice, but the plan is here for you so you will NOT need to look at YouTube or random lessons anymore.
  • Learn a collection of unique, beautiful, and enjoyable fingerpicking arrangements. These will give you years of enjoyment and teach you many new skills that are applicable to the songs you love.
  • The 7 deadly fingerpicking mistakes and how to fix them - these are the 7 big issues that all fingerpickers struggle with but are all fixable with a little practice (the first step is knowing what they are).
  • Learn the two most useful, common, and exciting "Travis picking" patterns you likely ever need to know to allow you to play loads of classic songs and ideas.
  • The most destructive bad habit that 99% of beginner fingerpickers struggle with and the specific steps to fix it (warning - this habit ruins the day-to-day playing for most guitarists).
  • How to reduce your brain age - do this simple fingerpicking exercise each day and science has proven that it could possibly reduce your brain age by up to ten years.
  • Learn the mostly unknown method that seasoned fingerpickers use, which allows them to rarely have to look back and forth at each hand when fingerpicking.
  • Find out how to build up speed using patterns such as the "Cascading" and "Romanza" patterns.
  • Discover my "three levels" of learning the fingerpicking patterns, making them much easier to learn than the way most people teach.
  • How to combine chords and melody at the same time - like guitarists such as Ralph McTell and Paul Simon do.
  • Over 80 audio examples with notation, tab, and full audio (normal and slow speeds) and a printable "tab pdf" - all ensuring no stone is left unturned, so you learn the materials in the most effective way possible.

Fingerstyle 101 (2nd edition) takes you every step of the way from being a frustrated/stuck/beginner guitarist to being a confident, skilful, and happy fingerpicker!

For a limited time, get all of the above right now with a big discount.

Simply click the link below to purchase. 

Remember, if you are over 40, have slogged away for ages, and YET you still find fingerpicking hard, you will find this course a breath of fresh air.

...And because everybody learns differently, you can get either a paperback book OR the HD video course today

That's right.

After lots of demand, I have created both a paperback version of the course AND an online HD video version. 

If you prefer books, get the paperback.

If you prefer video, order the video course, where you can get instant access to the members' area, ask questions, track your progress, leave comments, and interact with others. 

So, once you decide which version you would like, scroll down and order and... 

Below is a little more about the 3 unique parts of the course...

Everything in the course is organised in order of difficulty in 3 parts from the absolute basics up ...making the journey for you more fun!

  1. 1
    Part I - Learn the fundamentals of fingerpicking - learn how to play with great technique, be comfortable with the absolute basics, fix the most common fingerpicking mistakes, and have the tools needed to get a rock-solid foundation to fingerpick to a high standard.
  2. 2
    Part II - Discover the 10 most exciting, fun, and beautiful fingerpicking patterns - all taught with fun examples and all starting off in a super simple way and then getting progressively harder. This will allow you to play beautiful music at your current skill level and develop as you go through the course. 
  3. 3
    Part III - How to develop as a fingerpicking guitarist consistently even when you have finished the course. This includes how to learn faster, improve your memory, enjoy your practice sessions more, and possibly even keep your brain age younger! Learn all of this in a fingerpicking context.
Fingerstyle 101 is specifically written for those who are 40+, 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 course, I show you how to be creative while fingerpicking so you can get these big potential benefits.

Select Dynamic field
You are NOT too old to learn!

Age is not a barrier. 

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

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

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. 

The only caveats are NOT giving up and using a proper plan/proven method - both certainly make the journey easier. 

If you are fed up with hopping around or using random YouTube videos where the instructor loses you along the way, then this course is for YOU.

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 course is full of years (and thousands of hours) worth of lessons and advice. 

You could pay me $5000 per year in-person to learn these things (just like my private students do) or you could get the course 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 here

Below is a little track featuring just some of the examples taken from the course.

If you like what you hear, you can be learning how to play these pieces, with proper technique and with the proper steps, in just a few minutes. Enjoy!

Imagine in 30 days' time, playing beautiful music that makes your loved ones proud

Picture this...

In less than 1 month, you feel delighted by what you have achieved and the music you can now finally play.

You pick up your guitar in the garden, sipping a beer or glass of wine as you smell the freshly cut grass and hear the birds chirping above you in the evening sun.

The beautiful music you play on guitar washes over you like a waterfall and resonates through your fingers.

You now feel confident that you can tackle any song, and you're free of the shackles and struggles of the past. 

The songs that remind you of loved ones and special memories are now at your fingertips and you're a confident guitarist with a clear plan going forward...

....But not only that, it's time to make new memories with the guitar.

Life is short, and you live it fully, feeling vibrant, energetic, and youthful with your guitar in hand. 

...All without a care in the world, not minding if your neighbours hear you play...

...And even secretly hoping they will...

As deep down you know they will be in awe of your new musical skills...

If you are fed up with starting over and over, now is your time...

If you do NOT like technology, do not worry, using this course is super simple

You'll get an email address to contact us, where my technical support team or I will help you, so there will be no issues.

...but if you do have any issues, we will be on hand to solve them quickly!

The best time to improve your fingerpicking is now.

If you feel you aren't where you should be by now, don't waste any more time, this course will help. 

Once you purchase the HD course or the Deluxe bundle, you can access it in less than 60 seconds.

Here are the first bits of feedback from the readers of the 2nd edition

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 course 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' - I 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 PDFs of all the exercises." - Mike Barron (Southampton, UK)

Beware! Fingerstyle 101 is NOT for very 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 course 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 course 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 our 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 this right now.

If you want to get the course, don't hang around, and if you have wanted to improve on the guitar for some time, go for it - you deserve it.
