Introducing the Fingerstyle Collection
The Fingerstyle Collection is my brand new, step-by-step course. Here, you will learn the most beautiful fingerstyle arrangements I have ever taught.
If you are unsure of the meaning of the phrase, “fingerstyle arrangement”…
This is where one plays the melody (which is the tune), bass, and chords, from a song – all on guitar.
If you are feeling brave, you also add in the cool riffs, runs, hammer-ons, slides, and other fun stuff.
It can be challenging, but I will explain exactly how to do this and how even beginners can play this style using the breakthrough, “3-Step Method”.
First though, read on to find out how you can…
Build an exciting repertoire of songs with these beautiful arrangements
The following songs are just some of what is in the course. These will help you learn the key fingerstyle techniques as used in fingerpicking folk, blues, Travis picking styles, classical, pop, and more…
- Amazing Grace – a beautiful arrangement my students love
- Spanish Romance – possibly the world’s most recognisable classical guitar piece
- Yankee Doodle – a vintage tune for solo fingerstyle guitar
- House of the Rising Sun – a classic Travis picking arrangement
- Für Elise – Beethoven’s most famous piano piece, played on guitar!
- Rockin’ Robin – a Travis picked version of the Bobby Day/Michael Jackson classic
- Whiskey in the Jar – (the Thin Lizzy & Metallica song played fingerstyle)
- Toccata and Fugue – the “scary” tune used in hundreds of movies, TV shows, etc.
- Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel. A melodic beginner arrangement of the 60s fingerpicking folk classic.
- Plus, learn fingerstyle blues, a Mozart piece, and… Even a fun fingerpicked version of ‘Happy Birthday’, and more…
This course is more than just learning songs, though. It is also about developing ALL your skills so you can be a better musician. More on that in a moment but first…
These students have been learning to fingerpick beautiful music – you can too
If you ever feel like you’re “too old to learn”, have no “natural talent” or “no ear for music”…
Take inspiration and see what you can be learning yourself in the following video.
Watch now to see these students of mine play songs from the course
One student told me she was so nervous when she first rang me for lessons… that her heart was throbbing.
Barely any of these students felt confident at first.
This video shows how much they have grown (and they haven’t stopped yet!)
Put bluntly, if they can do it, there is no reason why you can’t too.
If you have longed to play guitar for years, or are stuck and don’t want to waste more time, “The 3-Step Method” could be the answer
From the above video, can you see and hear how these songs were not complex?
The songs were based around elegant simplicity, BUT…
The students did NOT need to play painstaking barre chords or cram in lots of frustrating chord changes…
Yes, like anything, these students practised the songs BUT they benefited from avoiding this one thing in particular…
Not focusing too much on chords.
Amateur and frustrated guitarists tend to think, “chords, chords, chords” which can be a mistake.
Chords are important of course, there is no getting around that, but…
If you focus too much on chords, it is easy to lose sight of the melody.
Doing this will make the music sound “wishy-washy” at best and unrecognisable at worst.
Stop learning songs like this and being stuck.
I teach my students this instead…
“One of the keys to professional sounding fingerstyle is to… focus on the melody”.
This is the single most important key to being able to play beautiful fingerstyle guitar.
There are other important factors which build upon this but…
You must focus on the melody – especially at first.
With fingerstyle playing, the melody is king and queen.
The melody, if you are unsure, is the bit you hum – the tune you sing.
You can learn how to play this style using the “3-Step Method”.
Here’s a summary of how the “3-Step Method” works…
- Learn and perfect the melody one note at a time (essential)
- Add in 1-2 bass notes per bar (important)
- Throw in all the fun, wild, and exciting extras (an exciting bonus)
Start by focusing on step 1.
Get it sounding good.
Then all the elegant simplicity will simply build on top of it.
Do so and you can then play lovely fingerstyle guitar with less frustration and have more fun.

Before I wrap this up, I must warn you though…
This course (or any other for that matter) won’t magically make you sound like Paul Simon, James Taylor, or Segovia overnight.
If you want “hacks” or “tricks” or shortcuts, please realise this is NOT what this course is about. Guitar playing takes effort, there is no way round that. It can and should be fun, but it still requires effort. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
If you DO NOT want to practise or apply the lessons inside, this course won’t help.
On the other hand, if you want to see real results in 30 days of practice, and play beautiful fingerstyle…
This course could be what you need. I say that because…
If I can do it, you sure as heck can…
I realised early on in my playing I wasn’t the most “naturally” talented guitarist.
As I would fluff playing the ‘Sound of Silence’ my mom would shout upstairs, “Shut up!!!”
She really did want the ‘Sound of Silence’!
Despite those early days being a slog, I went from being awful to getting pretty good. Once I really got going, my progress rapidly sped up.
Now, dare I say it, a more “natural” guitarist or teacher may not understand your journey like I do.
In this course, I will share with you the things I wish I had known.
These are things to watch out for, the breakthroughs, those “aha” moments, and all the other nuggets of wisdom I picked up from teaching people like you over the years. It is all in the Fingerstyle Collection and…
Each lesson inside will help you on the path to faster fingerpicking success.
