Move beyond your open chords into the stratosphere of new heights and possibilities.
For both flatpickers and fingerpickers alike!
If you’ve learned your open chords but are craving to do more, then I’ll help you take to the air with this course.
Give your playing a powerful thrust with techniques like bass runs, hammer-ons, new chords, easy (but cool) licks, basic fingerpicking skills, and much more, all while putting them to practical use with popular songs and songs you already play! Attaching some booster rockets, I’ll also give you valuable tips on how to get the most from your practicing, being creative, powerful finger-exercises - disguised as licks - how to jam with others, and easy to understand music theory that you can use to really understand how the fingerboard works.
Something for everyone, both flatpickers and finger pickers are invited to hop on board.
