Fingerstyle 101 is specifically 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 book, I will show you how to be creative while fingerpicking so you can get these big potential benefits.

Speaking of age, you are NOT too old to learn. Here's why...
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 of feeling lost, unmotivated, or using random YouTube videos where the instructor loses you along the way, then this course is for YOU.
STOP being a frustrated guitarist and instead cherish your playing with a consistent, happy smile
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, especially if you struggle to find time to play.
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 any more time, don't waste any more 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 0.16% of that price (the cost of shipping the book to you).
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.

Here's some feedback from students
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 G.R.E.A.T. 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 you can use at your own pace for your fingerpicking success, then this is for you.

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.

Teaching guitar to those who are learning later on in life is something I am passionate about.
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 on your guitar so you can cherish every moment with this wonderful instrument...

Frequently Asked Questions
You get the Fingerstyle 101 book for FREE. I've paid for the prints (1000 of them) and all I ask is that you cover the cost of shipping and handling. The book will be delivered to you door by the mailman but not only that...
You're also getting a series of bonuses (worth $292) on playing songs, rhythm, timing, improvisation, "unlocking" the fretboard, how to play a stunning and incredibly popular song, and more. All this will help you develop further and allow you to start immediately while you wait for your book.
Plus you get instant free lifetime access to the Fingerstyle 101 Facebook group. This group will give you support from me and others where you get help and support so you can rest assured, you will never be learning on your own again.
Finally, there is a no questions asked 90-day money-back guarantee on the cost of shipping to put your mind at rest. You don't even need to return the book to get the instant refund.
There is no course out there like this anywhere.
Inside the book, you will find motivating lessons if you lack the time to play or need more help, a focus on technique (which sadly most teachers gloss over over), clear and concise advice, a solid step-by-step plan, how to improve your timing, rhythm, and musicality, and more.
Plus, once you join the Facebook group, I and the other members will help motivate and encourage you every step of the way.
The bottom line is though. The book will give you results. This breeds motivation which in turn breeds more results. Once you get up and running you will never want to put the guitar down again.
Simply try the book, spend some time enjoying the lessons and if it is not for you, just contact us and we will immediately refund you.
There is NO need to return the book. Honestly, I believe in this so much and know it will be a game changer for you, but if it is not for you for any reason, we will ensure you get a prompt refund.
My website is 100% secure. We use the latest high tech website protection, the security "padlock", and have daily website scans to make sure we are 100% secure. You can pay via PayPal or credit/debit card and all purchases are 100% secure.
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... This 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.
The lessons will help you get results and start building up good habits in 3 days or less. The very first tip will help you immediately reduce the pressure you use on the fretboard. This will mean your fingers will be less sore, your chord changes smoother and your playing more enjoyable.
This alone can be a gamechanger for many but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait till you get stuck into the meat and potatoes of the book.
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+. There is no boring 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.
