💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
If I could only play one thing for the rest of my life, it would probably be the fingerstyle guitar improvisation style that I teach in this lesson.
It’s that fun!
In this lesson, I demonstrate how to work on melodic fingerstyle guitar improvisation over a steady bass.
To make it manageable for anyone, I’ve broken it down into six concrete steps.
If you’re interested in fingerstyle guitar, improvisation, or arranging songs for solo guitar, then this video is for you.
This is part two of my fingerpicking guitar workshop. Next week, in part 3, I’ll go over my fingerpicking song arrangement formula.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
