PLUS: How a guitarist went from being told to "quit playing" by his girlfriend to fingerpicking beautiful music in the style of Ed Sheeran, Paul Simon and James Taylor in less than 30 days
Dear guitarist,
Here's the story:
I played guitar to impress my girlfriend but...
She laughed and told me to "go learn the triangle instead!"
For months I had been trying to play the "The Sound of Silence" but...
No matter what I did...
My fingers were sore, my timing was terrible, and the music sounded like nails on a chalkboard.
I was embarrassed, and worse, I caught her and my mom laughing about how terrible my playing was.
They really did want the sound of silence!
I felt ashamed.
Even my dog hated my playing.
If you have ever played in front of a loved one and felt their stinging criticism, you will know this feeling.
It feels like your guts are being ripped out from inside of you.
Especially when you struggle day after day.
Despite this though, I went from being awful to...
Slowly getting better and then later, I discovered a special method and found it worked...
It took practice, I had setbacks but after finding this confidence-building plan...
...Finally, I was free.
It was like I was riding a bike for the first time with the wind in my hair...
Where I was finally playing beautiful music...
At first I played just for me and my dog while he sat at my feet (and he no longer ran off!)
And then confidently for others...
After this, my progress rapidly sped up.
I finally had the "guitar playing bug".
So after playing gigs all over the place with my band, I wanted to settle down...
...And I started teaching struggling adults aged 35+ how to fingerpick their favourite songs and here's what I learnt...
After teaching 1000s of hours of lessons I found four key hidden secrets that were crucial to students' success
These secrets helped each student unlock their ability to play beautiful music.
...So they could have more fun, impress their loved ones, and...
Fall in love with the guitar like they always dreamt of.
Now I want to share these methods with you so you can have all this...
...And best of all, this will work if you have tried learning guitar many times...
If you feel hopeless, sad, or regretful that it didn't work out before.
...And especially if you have ever been gently mocked, teased, or laughed at when playing.
Now is a fresh start.
Now is your time to unlock the ability deep inside of you.
It is your time to conquer this challenge, be free to play the music you love...
...And have endless hours of joy playing the music YOU love.
Learn these four secrets of fingerpicking success below...
Play 10 beautiful fingerpicking patterns that will help you learn to play 1000s of classic songs
Introducing Fingerstyle 101 (the brand new and massively updated video course) - a step-by-step plan for your fingerpicking success
Inside this HD video course, you will find out how to fingerpick using an easy to follow system. This course has been totally revamped and will teach you...
There is over 3 x more content than in the popular 1st edition including a guide on how to read TAB if you are new to guitar.
Here are just a few of the exciting things you will find in the course...
The above is just the tip of the iceberg. In the course, you will also learn how to...
Improve your brain age and play stunning music even if you have "no ear for music" or feel you have no "natural talent"
If you are no longer a kid...
You may think about your brain health...
But did you know being creative and playing guitar can help you reduce your brain age...
By up to 10 years as discovered in a BBC documentary* just a few years ago.
And guess what, learning guitar is wonderful for creativity as you will see in the course. Here are some more details about what is in the course...
As a bonus, you will also get all the TAB and musical notation in a downloadable PDF file...
This is super handy if you want an extra copy of all the musical examples printed out (e.g. to make notes on).
Plus... If you can't read TAB there is a super simple guide showing you how to read it quickly and easily...
So you can learn each example in a steady, confidence-building way all so you can do things like this...
Let me stop you for a moment, and ask, do you ever play in pain?
Here is something you may not have been told before...
A quick warning: Don't be fooled, you DO NOT need to practice with sore fingers like this!
Do you ever get sore fingers like this? (see this image).
If so, you have been taught all wrong.
Most guitarists are told sore fingers are part of the journey.
...BUT sore fingers means you have poor technique, crippling finger pain...
...And an increase in the chance of getting arthritis later in life.
Pressure is NOT needed.
Instead, you should use a light touch, like a butterfly.
Doing so will free your fingers up and reduce tension.
Then, with the relaxing exercises you will learn, we will wash all the tension out of your body so you can play effortlessly.
Best of all, you will learn this vital lesson immediately in the course and it takes just a few minutes to apply.
But you may be wondering "how long will it take to see results?"
Want a 12-week action plan to transform your playing?
This is what you can achieve with the course...
I tell all students 20 minutes a day of practice is what you should aim for.
If you are busy, a few minutes while you wait for dinner, or a few minutes in the morning, will make a big difference.
Many of the lessons in the course will save you time and frustration for years to come, and I do not exaggerate.
A little tip here and there (e.g. pressing with a light touch or the "Fingerpicking Tone Test") can change your playing for good...
...And set you down a different, more confident, and more musical path...
If you practice for 20 minutes a day and you follow the course...
You can achieve some amazing results, just like Pam...
71-year-old Pam would "sit and cry" because guitar playing was so hard, but watch her now...
Pam would sit long into the night trying and battling with the guitar...
BUT... with this guide, she tore up what she knew and built up powerful habits from the ground up.
The guitar and the step-by-step method she used became her ally, her best friend and armed with her six string...
She now makes beautiful music every single day.
If you have doubts about your ability, watch the video below and see Pam (and other students) play pieces from the course.
If you ever feel like you have no natural talent, realize this...
Pam and the others did NOT feel confident at first either, but to be frank...
If they can do it when they are in their 70s, you sure as hell can do it too...
There is absolutely no reason why you can’t.
If you would like to fingerpick in the styles of these legends, this is for you
The course will help you learn the techniques and patterns used by artists such as:
Want to play in the styles of these guys too?
Merle Travis, Tommy Emmanuel, Donovan, Ralph McTell, Jim Croce, Joan Baez, Kansas, The Beatles, R.E.M., Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel...
I can't promise the course will make you play like these guys, BUT...
The course will help you discover the key techniques needed to play their styles and songs so you can pour your emotion into your music and feel truly free while playing guitar.
After all, music is all about emotion, escapism, love and joy.
These legendary guitarists all agree...
Now if you are wondering how it all works, let me explain how you can...

To make your journey even more fun, I have added this secret "treasure hunt" and a golden ticket for you inside...
Improving your guitar playing should be fun.
Here are two more ways I make it fun...
1 - Find the "golden ticket" and get a prize delivered to your door. (Just like in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory you can find a golden ticket in your course and get a prize posted out to you, 100% free).
2 - Unlock secret bonuses with the "treasure hunt" (A fun way of encouraging you to use the lessons more - as you do, you will unlock these hidden lessons).
Both of the above are light-hearted ways of making your journey with the guitar a more memorable and exciting experience.
These are fun bonuses, and because of the way they work, they will get you using your purchase more, meaning...
You will make faster progress, and you will actually use this course (unlike other purchases you may have made before).
Don't forget this though...
If you have waited years or even decades, now is your time. You will even make your loved ones smile when you play
If you were busy with your career and kids and yearned to play guitar all those years... don't waste any more time.
Imagine in 30 days’ time playing beautiful music that makes your loved ones proud where...
...You feel delighted by what you have achieved and the music you can now play.
You play guitar in your garden, sipping a beer or glass of wine.
You smell the freshly cut grass as the birds chirp above you in the evening sun.
You relax and play beautiful music that washes over you like a waterfall...
All without a care in the world, not minding if the neighbours hear you play...
...And even secretly hoping they will...
As deep down you know they will be a little envious and in awe of your new musical skills...
If you are fed up with starting over and over, now is your time.
Just listen to what these happy students have said lately...

"Thank you so much. I really appreciate your approach to guitar playing. I'm a returning student from childhood, so basically a beginner.
You are covering things that other instructors are not and it's making things more interesting and fun for me. I look forward to picking up my guitar every day and growing at a pace that is comfortable for me. Love the videos, too!!"
Mary Ann W. - Student
“
Over the years, I have seen and attempted to follow several fingerpicking guides, but this is succinct and very accessible. It is 'personable' - Dan really does want his students to achieve.
Michael Bostock - Reverend

This is brilliant, the best guitar tutorial I have come across.
You seem to have looked at what every other guitar tutor puts across, then you cover it all, but you fill in the gaping holes of information that most others just gloss over.
I'm going to learn a lot from you, thank you for being so thorough. Great system Dan, thanks.
Ted Grimes - Retired doctor

Dan has done it again! This new second edition of Fingerstyle 101 is exactly what I, an old fart, need to boost my fingerstyle technique and motivation to practice.

I have not seen any other guitar tuition course go into this level of dedication to ensure students use what they pay for.
Most importantly though, the lessons are full of real-world practical advice - they have been created while teaching students like you over many years.
Everything is taught in a step-by-step way, with enjoyable music to practice, encouragement throughout, and specific advice.
It is organized, conversational, and fun. One student even said recently:
“Dan talks to you like you are there, it’s like having a one-to-one lesson with Dan" - Steve

In short, yes.
I do not promise miracles, (I will leave that to the countless YouTube tutors) but I am vastly experienced at turning frustrated guitarists into real guitar players.
Everything starts off simply and builds in a steady step-by-step way.
The bottom line is this...
As long as you practice, and do exactly as I teach you will make progress in every area of your playing...
That means cleaner sounding chords, faster chord changes, better tone, more accuracy, improved memory, fewer mistakes, a better repertoire of patterns to play, and the ability to play beautiful music at the drop of a hat.
It takes practice of course, but simply follow the instructions and you will see these results.
Great question.
Practice for 20 minutes a day and you will see results.
Some results will be within a few minutes, some within a few days, but of course, guitar playing is long-term so expect real results over the next few months.
This is what you can expect over the next 12 weeks or so...
In week 1, you will discover many lightbulb moments which will improve your technique and enjoyment while reducing finger soreness and any pain.
From weeks 2-4, you will cement good habits and destroy the bad habits and negative beliefs that may have held you back before - all while playing beautiful music.
From weeks 5-12, your transformation to being a fingerpicker who can play beautiful music will be obvious to you and others around you - as long as you stick with it, you will get there.
After this point, you will have the option to do what you want on guitar - without doubt and without confusion.
You will be far more confident and happy every time you pick up your guitar.
You will know you can achieve what you put your mind to - both on the guitar and in life.
This will give you a newfound optimism and sense of self-confidence, and you will feel this confidence resonate throughout your whole life - not just on the guitar.
This is for all fingerpicking guitarists (or those who want to start)...
My steady, step-by-step approach and choice of musical examples really resonates with those who are aged 40+.
You do not have to be this age of course, but those who are age 40-90 are loving this course the most.
There is no boring "thud, thud" modern pop here. Instead just beautiful fingerpicking music and lessons on how to play in the classic styles of music from yesteryear...
E.g. 60s Folk music, Travis picking, acoustic rock, and all the other wonderful fingerpicking styles we love.
If you are learning a little later on in life, and want a confidence-building clear and concise method, this is for you - especially if you lack confidence right now.
Together, we will help you become the guitarist you dream of being.
Here is just a small selection of the 100s of comments on the course so far...
Gordon Lynch This course represents a gold mine of fingerstyle technique and advice for guitarists of all levels.
