FINGERSTYLE GUITAR LESSONS

In today’s lesson, we will combine different fingerpicking techniques over a beautiful Spanish chord progression.

The most popular Spanish chord progression is the i VII VI V in a minor key. Since we are playing these chords in the key of A minor, we will play the following chords: Am G F E.

You will learn:

• The chord progression in different positions.
• A beautiful Spanish melody.
• A rhythmic fingerpicking pattern.

Learn how to improve your thumb technique by following these three golden rules.

In this lesson, we will work on a simple yet beautiful chord progression using the Travis Picking technique. With this technique, the thumb takes care of two bass strings while the index, middle, and ring finger play the top three strings.

A great exercise that will improve your thumb technique and your rhythm, finger dexterity, and musicality.

Welcome to the last episode of the Fingerpicking Guitar in 7 Days Program. In today’s lesson, we will combine all the techniques we learned during this mini-program and play them over the most famous melody on the guitar.

The song is called Asturias, and it is indeed one of the most popular motives on classical and acoustic guitar.

We are not learning the entire song. We are using the song to put into practice all the techniques we learned throughout the mini-course.

There are five different sections:

Section 1: We will play the melody with the thumb (DAY 6 Three Thumb Rules).

Section 2: Let’s add the alternate fingering technique (DAY 1, Alternate Fingering).

Section 3: Simple plucking pattern (DAY 2 Easy Fingerstyle Pattern).

Section 4: Combine chords and melody  (DAY 3, DAY 4, and DAY 5).

Section 5: Another simple melody with alternate fingering (DAY 1 Alternate Fingering).
