Fingerpicking Guitar for the Young Beginner [With CD]

Focusing on fingerstyle guitar, this beginner's guide utilizes familiar folk songs to enhance both left and right-hand techniques. It progresses from simplified chords and basic thumb strumming to block chords and intricate arpeggiated patterns. The book avoids barre chords while introducing the alternating bass concept with full-strength chords. Melodies are presented in standard notation, and lyrics along with a companion CD provide rhythmic support, making this course accessible without the need for prior note or tablature reading skills.
