Fingerstyle Guitar

This course is the tutor’s specialty. Fingerstyle is a wide-ranging set of techniques that will cover elements of Spanish and classical guitar through to the more modern styles of Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins and Andy McKee.

The 11-week course will be part technical exercises, part arrangement and part composition. 

Although no specific fingerstyle experience is necessary, it would be useful to have the basics of chord switching and some finger-picking mastered.

Electric players are welcome too: please bring a small amplifier. 

No sessions: 21st September.
