💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:

If you’ve ever wanted to make your own fingerstyle guitar arrangements, then this week’s lesson is for you.

In this video, I break down a simple process for creating fingerstyle guitar arrangements by starting with something that I call the “skeleton arrangement.”

Starting with the skeleton makes it much easier to fill out a song with lush chords, passing bass lines, and fills to create a complete sounding arrangement.

I chose three songs to demonstrate the 4-step arrangement process with:

1. “What a Wonderful World”

2. “Something” by The Beatles

3. “Make You Feel My Love”

I think they turned out pretty cool. :)

This is the third and final part of my fingerpicking guitar lesson workshop series. I hope you enjoyed the series!

I’ll have more new lessons next week, so stay tuned.

Thanks for watching!

Have a wonderful rest of your week.

Regards

~ Jared
