Attention: Fingerpicking guitarists over 50... Are you tired of YouTube, being frustrated when you fingerpick, and having no plan to follow?
Learn How A Simple Yet Rarely Known Teaching Method Transformed A Fingerpicking Guitarists Playing In just... 20 Minutes Per Day
You too can play guitar with better technique, more confidence and have more fun.
...even if your inner critic says you have "no ear for music", you "are too old to learn" or you have "no natural talent".
This simple but effective method is helping hundreds of frustrated guitarists everywhere achieve their guitar playing dreams.
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. I don’t have a degree in music.
I`ve never released a big hit, and I`m not even the best guitarist I know.
What I can tell you though, is that I am very experienced in teaching struggling beginner adults...
Dan Thorpe is an RGT qualified tutor who has taught over 100 50+ year old beginner fingerpickers
....aged 50+ how to fingerpick properly, play with great technique so they love every second of their playing.
I`ve done it over thousands of hours and many years.
It does take practice to get good.
Yet, if you practice in the way I`ll show you, it will take you far less time you were probably led to believe.
I`ll also give you many tips and explain the four key things that can possibly change your playing for good and which most people don`t know about.
I also want to share with you a quick but shocking story that you will no doubt relate to.
A few years ago, a recently retired 68 year old firefighter called Mike, came to my studio for guitar lessons.
He came to me as was absolutely desperate for help with his guitar playing - and in particular his fingerpicking.
He had a little arthritis but his fingers were still very mobile, but...
When he sat there trying his best to fingerpick a version of "Unchained Melody"
...beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
...His face was turning red he was so tense.
...His fingers were so sore they looked like they were about to bleed
To make matters worse, the music was stilted, awkward and didn`t sound good.
I felt bad for him.
He said he wished he started 40 years ago but... he had already played for over a year, and he hated how hard he found learning guitar.
Buzzing AND slow chords changes, sore fingers, no complete songs but it ultimately led to some wonderful discoveries which made fingerpicking for him so much more fun
So, you can see, it was really hard for Mike.
Before I met Mike, he had spent months trying everything and he bought books but they were too advanced for him
He found YouTube videos quickly lost him
He also Searched the net but that had no specific plan to follow.
Mike was lost.
It was so bad that Mike practiced super quietly at home, hoping his wife would NOT hear him play.
Mike told me he had knots in his stomach when he thought about playing.
All he wanted to do was have some fun, keep his brain sharp and enjoy life now he was retired and his kids left home.
He couldn`t take it any longer, especially when he saw others playing amazingly on YouTube and reading all the comments of everyone else who has done so well.
And watching his friend learn guitar in just a few months.
As you will see, there was a solution to all of this but at this stage Mike thought he was doomed.
Mike had already studied with a local tutor, and at first, things looked up, but after a while, he realised, he just wasn`t improving.
Admittedly, Mike`s memory was not what it once was, but was trying...hard.
Yet he felt he was going backwards.
What this guitar teacher did to him - floored me!
And, it got worse, his tutor was getting more and more frustrated with Mike until one day, the tutor sat down with Mike said...
"Mike, I`m sorry, I like you, you`re a good guy but this isn`t working out. I can`t teach you anymore".
It was like a huge kick in the teeth to Mike.
"What is wrong with me?" Mike thought
Shocked and embarrassed, and having the last bit of confidence and pride in his guitar playing ripped away...
Mike went home, and was so angry and upset he wanted to smash his guitar up
Instead he quietly packed it up and stored it away in the attic - never wanting to play again - ever!
Learning guitar had become too painful and fingerpicking like Paul Simon, James Taylor and his folk heroes seemed as if it was never going to happen.
His wife had already paid and booked him a block of 5 lessons with me for his birthday.
He had no idea.
Mike really didn`t want to come but couldn`t let his wife down, so he gave it one last try.
Mike felt like he had zero talent and no ear for music and he had. bought other products but nothing worked.
He didn`t expect much and I could tell.
Yet, after hearing what you are about to learn too, Mike realised that it was indeed possible for him to succeed.
In his first lesson, I got Mike having fun right away using a few simple but specific techniques.
At the end of the first lesson with me, he felt re-motivated and as he walked out the door of my studio, he made a commitment.
He said: "No more messin` about - I`m going to do this properly, have fun and learn 3 songs on the guitar in six months".
I told him to practice with focus in a specific way for 20 minutes per day and he would see big improvements.
He was sceptical but...
Mike knew real progress takes time and patience and that there would be hurdles.
As I was not an experienced teacher at this point, I knew I had to do more research to help Mike. I studied a wide variety of guitar teachers.
Most of which were clueless and were teaching everyone in the same old way.
Yet, in my research, I discovered something special....
A method that was unheard of, rarely known and rarely taught in 200 years.
I made Mike a specific plan of action using my research using an early version of the "T.E.S.T method".
I did it in a way that was designed to improve his playing in just 20 minutes of practice each day.
...So he could spend the rest of his playing time enjoying himself.
You see, real progress does NOT need to take a long time.
Together, we got Mike to have more fun, and play with proper technique meaning no more pain or sore fingers when he played.
He learnt real songs all the way through.
He improved his memory so he could retain more information and keep his brain sharp.
We made him a specific plan so he knew exactly what to do and when to do it, and he stopped wasting precious time.
Over the next few months I kept seeing steady breakthroughs.
You see, there was hope and little by little, I could see Mike was starting to have more fun.
This was the special moment when he realised he could actually fingerpick like he always wanted to
It was obvious that Mike was rapidly getting more confident and skilful by the day.
Mikes story had an amazing ending which ended with him confidently playing in front of his wife.
Finally, 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.
It was a romantic moment and bought tears to her eyes.
He said it helped them reconnect like they hadn`t for years.
These days, Mike is now a much happier and more confident guitarist.
He can now play multiple fingerpicking songs from start to finish.
He even jams outside of his holiday home sitting on the patio by the beach, without a care in the world, and is even jamming with and teaching his grandson a little.
...And he now has fun playing the guitar!
For Mike, guitar playing is now what he always dreamed it would be - tonnes of fun.
I want to show you how YOU can have this too.
The solution for your fingerpicking success is to have an easy to follow, simple step by step plan all laid out for you
The truth is, to fingerpick well, it is much easier if you have a plan.
And it is far more enjoyable if learn how to play with proper technique.
It all changed for Mike when we used my "T.E.S.T. Method" which is a hybrid of multiple proven techniques for learning guitar - yet they are rarely taught.
Whether you are busy at work and short of time or retired, the T.E.S.T. Method is a simple, easy to apply, step by step method that combines four key elements.
The first part of the T.E.S.T. Method is "Technique".
I taught Mike to play without pain AND without sore fingers.
He was completely unaware that he could fingerpick beautiful music in this natural, comfortable manner.
How shocking is that?
You may have never been told you can play with complete freedom and zero pain too.
If that is the case for you, read on to find out why most guitar instruction is nonsense.
This way of teaching is actually an updated method used by those who taught the maestro classical players from the 18th and 19th centuries.
I know that learning the fundamentals of technique can be about as sexy as watching Keith Richards polka dance in a bikini.
That`s why we have the "E" in the T.E.S.T method which is for enjoyment.
You must have enjoyment when you play - for my students, enjoyment is crucial, especially if you are learning later on in life.
Combine enjoyment and good technique and you have dynamite. (and we haven`t even covered the rest of the T.E.S.T. Method yet - (those are powerful too).
Imagine making little improvements each day so that in a year you are able to play the songs you love.
You are probably thinking "this sounds be too good to be true".
To be fair, Mike was unsure at first when I told him just how much better he could be.
I even thought the ideas I used with Mike might be a fluke.
I had to see how these ideas worked with other students.
The results were nearly always the same.
Astounding.
All those who applied the methods had more fun and learnt much faster. (The key is they practiced and applied these methods).
It got to the point where people like Mike would say to me "you should write a book on fingerpicking"
At first I dismissed it as I lacked the confidence to put it out there.
Eventually, after teaching 100+ students who were over 50 and beginners in person, I had the confidence to write the book.
I put it all together as a specific method that takes you, the fingerpicking guitarist...
Every step of the journey to becoming a wonderful fingerpicking guitarist.
Now, thousands of other guitarists over the age of 50 and beyond are enjoying this book already and learning every day from it.
They are also learning how to fingerpick with joy, expression, and freedom - things they thought they would never be able to do.
Particularly when they thought they were "too old" or "not talented enough".
This book features the exact methods I taught to Mike and the others.
It`s a simple, easy to follow plan all laid out for you in an easy to read guide with straightforward no nonsense advice.
Just imagine how useful it would be to get a simple book with all the answers laid out in order, specifically for you
This book is literally everything you need to know about fingerpicking guitar step by step all the way.
It`s the brand new and revised second edition of Fingerstyle 101.
If you are over 50, have practiced hard, and have slogged away for ages YET the guitar is still a struggle, you will find this a breath of fresh air.
Here are some of the fingerpicking secrets you will discover
Fingerstyle 101 is a simple, step by step and east to follow guide for those of you wanting to learn fingerpicking guitar in just 20 minutes or less per day.
This is the only step by step fingerpicking guitar book as an adult beginner you will need AND it`s specifically written for fingerpickers who are learning guitar later on in life.
Learn the 10 fingerpicking patterns that will open the door to play 1000`s of songs with endless ways to have more fun
With just a handful of chords and some of the best fingerpicking picking patterns out there, you will get more pleasure and joy from playing the guitar for yourself.
These are the patterns as used by great guitarists such as Paul Simon, James Taylor, Lindsey Buckingham and many, many more...
The 10 fingerpicking patterns you will learn...
If you are like most of my students, you probably practice quietly in a room hoping no one will hear your mistakes and your playing.
I used to.
Everything in the book is ordered in levels of difficulty from the absolute basics ...making the journey for you more fun!
The book is broken up into 3 in-depth parts that will teach you everything you need to know about fingerpicking. these are...
- 1Part I - will teach you all the fundamentals of fingerpicking which includes playing with great technique, learning the essential terminology, fixing the most common mistakes (most of which are hard to spot) and getting a solid foundation for all of your playing
- 2Part II - learn the 10 exciting, fun and beautiful fingerpicking patterns. All are taught with varied examples (from levels 1-3, a "simplification", a stunning real world example, all allowing you to play beautiful music for your current skill level, which will rise as you practice.
- 3Part III - will help you learn faster, remember more, possibly keep your brain age young, and take all the ideas learnt in the earlier parts of the book and run with them for all of your playing - ensuring you will always develop as a fingerpicking guitarist even when you finish the book..
Specifically written for those who are 50+, new to fingerpicking or have struggled with it in the past
I have taught well over 100 students from scratch and over 90% of them were over 50 when they started with me.
As you will see, this experience has meant I have become a specialist in teaching those learning later on in life the art and science of fingerpicking.
Adults think kids can learn quicker which is not true. This is nonsense.
Here`s why...
Most people stop learning new things when they get to about 25-30, so they switch off this learning part of their brain.
The good news is, it is not gone, it is just dormant.
You can and will learn faster and faster the more you do it- it is like a snowball effect.
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.
You are NOT too old to learn!
Did you know, as an older learner, you have a big advantage over kids?
Kids give up at a much higher rate than adults, so the good news is once you get past the hard part of learning guitar you are extremely likely to play forever.
Imagine getting to the point where all your doubts and frustration are gone.
The point where you can have fun doing something enjoyable and healthy every day for the rest of your life - when and as you choose.
Get up in the morning and play.
Go on holiday and sit outside on the beach and play beautiful music.
Have friends around and play for them with confidence.
Switch off from the chaos and politics in the world and escape with the guitar.
You will even be able to play the songs that remind you of loved ones and the special memories of growing up watching your parents or others play music.
Most of all, if you practice this way, you will get to the point you will no longer want to shut yourself away when you practice for fear of being heard...
You could play guitar with your grand kids.
Have the ability to hear a song on the radio and be confident to learn it quickly and with joy...
Those are all things that are possible for YOU.
Remember, if you are like most of my students, you have always wanted to play for yourself, NOT to be in a band or anything.
That`s why I made these methods specifically for you.
A step by step plan is what you need
If you want specific help with a step by step plan, then this is the book for you.
In fact, the "S" in the T.E.S.T. method is for "Specific plan".
You need a road map to point you in the right direction, yet when was the last time a guitar teacher gave you a specific plan?
As a guitarist learning on your own, you`re like David versus Goliath.
It can feel so hard, almost impossible at times BUT it doesn`t have to be.
Just like David, you need to have a plan to beat the Goliath of guitar.
This book is that plan - full of simple, easy to follow methods that will show you how.
Discover and master the fundamentals so you NEVER get stuck with fingerpicking again
Why is it that some students can master amazing pieces in a fraction of the time that other guitarists do?
Well, one of the reasons is because most guitarists skip the fundamentals.
These are the fingerpicking issues that plague 99% of students out there. If you feel like you are the only one who suffers with fingerpicking issues, you will discover that you are NOT alone.
This book will teach you...
3 Reasons why most guitar teachers and using YouTube doesn`t really work for struggling beginners
I find that most teachers (both in real life and on YouTube) rarely teach students in a step by step way and rarely teach them how to play with good technique.
In fact, some people who have studied music a lot, believe guitar instruction is hundreds of years behind that of classical instruments such as violin, piano, and even the flute!
Most teachers are friendly, nice and encouraging but they miss many fundamentals.
I know because my students tell me about their frustrating past experiences of learning.
If you have had lessons or struggled along with YouTube for a year and still struggle or have found progress slow, then, this book will help you.
Learn faster, remember more and possibly even reduce your brain age
Learning guitar is great for keeping your brain sharp and, in fact, learning things can create new neural pathways in your brain and even reduce your brain age.
Here are just some of the ways this book will help your brain health.
Just imagine how good it would feel to know you are improving your brain age and brain health while having loads of fun playing beautiful music.
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?
They can play guitar, violin, recorder, trumpet, cello, or the ukulele and you can create some special cherished moments with them.
You too can feel the frown being turned upside down when you start to have more fun on the guitar!
Just like my own son, Archie.
Learn to fingerpick likes these legends
In this book, you will learn the exciting techniques and fingerpicking patterns and styles used by artists such as:
As well as these fingerpicking legends...
I can`t promise the book will make you play like these guys overnight but it will guide you on their styles and songs with great technique and in a step by step way.
This the second edition of the book...
...and it is EVEN better than the first
The first edition of this book sold well over 3000 copies but needed a few tweaks.
The book has been improved and is now the finished article.
I actually took it off sale on Amazon and made it an exclusive product to the really active members of my email list. It didn`t take long for people wanting to know when it would be available again.
I waited until now - until the book was finally complete.
Now, the book is back and its full of much more of the good stuff.
More patterns, more examples, more audio and much more...
All of this means more fun for you.
If you are excited by the idea of playing beautiful fingerpicked music and having more relaxing, peaceful and enjoyable times on the guitar.
Fingerstyle 101 (2nd edition) takes you every step of the way from being a frustrated, stuck or beginner guitarist to being a confident, skilful and happy fingerpicking guitarist.
Become a confident fingerpicker and have fun on the guitar for less than the price of a pack of strings!
Remember, 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.
That`s why you would pay over $2500 per year in person to learn these things (just like my private students do).
Yet, instead of paying that, for the price of a pack of strings,
You can have something you will cherish forever, something that money cannot buy...
The ability to play the music you dream of, end your frustrations and have fun fingerpicking!
Remember, you have the peace of mind to know, I have road tested all these techniques on real-life students.
I have refined them many times so that they can be easily digested, so they are practical and most of all, useful to you.

If you have bought other fingerpicking books or courses before and they haven`t worked for you, Here is why this is different...
Most fingerpicking guitar books DO NOT teach you much, if anything, about fingerpicking patterns, proper technique and rarely do they teach you in a step by step and easy to follow way.
Many books don`t even come with audio (which is crazy in this day and age) and even when they do often you can`t slow the audio down.
And, it`s also really frustrating when there is no "count - in", so when you press play you have to start playing your guitar right away.
Even when there are audio examples to learn , most are boring traditional songs that you probably have never heard (e.g. "Don`t tell Aunt Rhody"!)
All the audio comes in both normal and slow speeds
Fingerstyle 101 is different and the attention to detail in this book is second to none.
ALL the audio comes in both normal and slow speeds making them far easier to learn at your own pace
Each piece of audio has a count-in meaning you can play in time without having to rush
Every piece of music you will learn gets progressively harder
...And each piece of music is great fun to play and listen to!
Instead of using a dated, boring that`s no use or uses boring songs...
Learn from a proven, step by step system that is actually helpful and fun.
Beware! NOT for guitarists, advanced players, or those who want a "quick fix"
If you are over 50, have struggled or are new to fingerpicking this is for you but it is not for the following.
NOT for advanced players!
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.
NOT for those not willing to practice!
If you want to play like Clapton, Paul Simon or James Taylor in an hour, let me tell you, that ain`t gonna happen. Getting good takes time, at least 20 minutes a day at 4-5 days a week, minimum.

Dan Thorpe
Author
I`m Dan from Birmingham UK (not Alabama) and I have written multiple books and courses and had over 1 million YouTube views.
I used to really struggle on the guitar. I don`t want you to suffer like I did.
I’m NOT an expert in many things but after many 1000`s of hours of teaching this stuff to 100`s of real students, I can safely say I am an expert in teaching in a step by step, straightforward and easy to follow way.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t believe there is a book out there anywhere like this. I have written this book the way I teach students, in a step by step way, from the ground up way, with fun fun music, words of encouragement, proper technique and much more.
The book is organized yet conversational and fun.
One student even said in an Amazon review:
“Dan talks to you like you are there, it’s like having a one to one lesson with Dan"
To put it simply, lots more. More than triple the amount of audio examples, and the following...
- More new patterns
- 3 examples for each pattern
- Slowed down versions of the audio tracks
- Complete sections on technique, the mistakes, the fundamentals and much more
- All in all it is a much bigger, more complete book than the first edition was
It`s 100% secure. It had the google standard 24bit encrypted, blah, which shows the padlock above.
10 patterns, the first example em chord needed which every one I’ve met can play, the final example for each 4/10 use chord fragments, easier chords, some examples use a capo making the chords easier.
I give you some very useful tips on improving hard chords for beginners such as c major
I’ve not seen you play, Jon, so it’s not easy to say but I think most guitarists can enjoy this book.
The materials are great fun to keep going back to, the technical tips can fix a lot of guitarists issues ans the patterns are loads of fun to play.
I’ve never taught anyone who knew all the material in the book, not even close. Remember there is a 90 day money back guarantee which takes me seconds to process if it’s not for you
No, I’m not very good with computers myself. I like technology but only when it works.
That’s why I keep it super simple. Once you pay, you will redirected to the download page, and the book is there waiting for you in seconds. The file size is tiny so it will literally take about 2 seconds to download. No frustrating download times here.
Great question, there are things that can change your playing in minutes, but most of the material requires a littel practice. 20 minutes a day 4-5 a week will see fantastc results but of ocurse, if you have more time, you will get even better results than that!
I`m not a mircale worker so please do put some time in, or you are best off dancing around a voodoo totem pole!
Here are a few more nice words from other happy fingerpickers...
As you can see many of these are in the same boat as you...
