With these free acoustic guitar lessons, you can choose whether you are interested to just brush-up a bit on your technique, or go all in and discover a few advanced methods that we will offer.I was a music instructor for the guitar for over 15 years and have been playing acoustic guitar for over 40 years.
We will present a great deal of materials in the lessons that we will present. Flatpicking Guitar style and Fingerstyle Guitar will be the two predominant styles of guitar performance that will be covered in these lessons.
Flatpicking Lessons for Acoustic Guitar:
Also known as Bluegrass Guitar, or plectrum guitar picking, this style will be covered in detail from the basics of how to hold the flatpick, how to posture your right hand for the most efficient picking, and how to gain playing speed.
We will cover subjects like right and left hand positioning, how to place the pick, how to play efficiently and much more. Also the left hand will be covered from how to position the neck, position the fingers, and actually play the notes.
I know that learning the fundamentals can seem unnecessary, but believe me when I say, that if you do nothing else but master these basics, you will be a much better guitar player.
Proper practicing proficiency and strict discipline are the key elements you need to concentrate on to become an exceptional player.
We will show you in extensive detail how to read TAB or tablature. We will offer lessons that extensively address strategies for executing hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, string bends and harmonics, which are also known as ornamental effects.
These talents are often beyond the level of the beginning guitar player, but by means of diligent practicing you will promptly master them.
Ultimately, we will consider the TAB from actual breaks of a few of the top flatpicking artist's such as Doc Watson, Norman Blake, Tony Rice and mant others. By learning a few of these breaks you will soon find yourself progressing from an intermediate guitar player to a master flatpicker.
Acoustic Guitar Lessons - Fingerstyle Guitar:
Fingerstyle guitar gets it's start from ragtime music, where the guitarists of the time attempted to replicate the ragtime piano pieces.
Contemporary artist's such as Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and Merle Travis took this style and improved it even more.
This tends to be a somewhat challenging method of playing the guitar, but it gives a enormous amount of gratification to the performer and the listener alike.
I recommend that you know your way around the flatpicking guitar style before you attempt to master fingerstyle guitar. It will make your transition into the fingerstyle technique much smoother.
By doing this we get most of the fundamentals out of the way such as left hand techniques, reading TAB, getting some reasonable speed going, and learning the ornamental techniques. You will also learn about the notes on the fretboard, playing in positions, and scales.
We will begin this style with a number of simple exercises so you can profit from skill and ability, just to get your feet wet. We will concentrate on the right hand techniques, as that is the greatest departure from flatpicking style guitar. Also left hand differences will be covered with regards to chord forms and more.
The next step will be to take some actual song samples and analyze them in detail. This way once you understand in detail, how and why certain breaks are played, you can go on to develop your own special style.
We will dissect sample breaks through a few of the most celebrated fingerstyle guitarists. We can profit from the understanding of these masters of fingerstyle guitar. By analyzing these arrangements and breaks, you can adjust them a bit to build your own unusual style. After all, if you can 'rip-off' a outstanding lick exactly how it was performed by means of Jerry Reed, that is very amazing indeed. But, why not interject your own techniques into this break to brand it uniquely your own style. We will teach you how to manage that.
