Not sure where to start with fingerstyle?
Fingerstyle looks impressive. One guitar, no band, and yet you hear melody, bass line and rhythm at the same time. For a beginner it can also look impossible. Where do the fingers go, which string belongs to which finger, and how do you keep a bass pattern steady while the melody moves on top?
Many people try to work it out from scattered videos and end up with half-learned pieces and sore fingertips. Without a clear order, every new tune feels like starting over, and it is easy to decide that you simply are not talented enough.
This course exists to remove that guesswork. It is built as a path from simple to complex, so each lesson prepares you for the next. The lessons are short and easy to take in, which makes learning enjoyable rather than exhausting.
You do not need to read sheet music, and you do not need any theory background. Everything you need is shown in the lessons, and the tabs on the screen tell you exactly where to put your fingers.
What you will be able to do
- Hold the guitar and position your hands comfortably
Set up your posture and both hands so that playing feels natural from the first lesson.

Learn at a convenient pace, anytime and anywhere, in short sessions.

The method: simple to complex, with practice built in
The programme has been tested and refined in face-to-face classes with students, and then with many online students. That experience shows in the structure. Each idea is introduced in its simplest form, practised on its own, and only then combined with the next one.
Every lesson is filmed from several angles, so you can see what the left hand and the right hand are doing at the same moment. The tab for the part you are learning appears on the screen, which means you never have to pause the video to look something up elsewhere.
After the explanation, each lesson comes with a play-along video. You play with it, at the speed that suits you, and you repeat the section until it feels comfortable. This is the part that turns watching into playing.
How the course works
The course is a set of online video lessons that you study on your own schedule. There are no fixed class times, so you can practise in the evening, at the weekend or in ten-minute slices during the week. You decide how quickly to move on.
After payment you get access to your personal account, where all the lessons are available. The lessons are streamed rather than downloaded, and you can watch them as often as you like from a computer or from a mobile app on your phone or tablet.
The lessons are short on purpose. A short lesson is easier to repeat, easier to fit into a busy day, and easier to master before moving on. Because the course is built from simple to complex, we suggest you follow the modules in order, at least the first time through.

Is this course for you?
This course is for you if…
- You have never played fingerstyle and want a clear place to begin
- You are comfortable with a guitar but get lost when learning from random videos
- You do not read sheet music and prefer to follow tabs
- You want short lessons that fit around work and family
- You like to practise by playing along with a video
Probably not a fit if…

After the course
By the end of the programme you will know how to place your hands, pluck cleanly and keep a bass line and a melody going together. Tabs will no longer look like a puzzle, because you will have followed them in every lesson.
You will have worked through a complete arrangement from the first bar to the last, which means you know how to break a piece into parts and learn it without frustration. That skill is what lets you approach new pieces on your own.
Most importantly, you will have a practice habit built on short, repeatable sessions. From there, you can keep going with more fingerstyle material at your own pace.
