Hey everyone! I know it's only the beginning of November, and some of you probably don't want to hear Christmas music just yet! But here's the thing... If you want to be playing your favourite Christmas songs by Christmas Day, now is the perfect time to start learning them! 🎸 And I've put together a brand-new collection to help you do exactly that. 🎄 40 Christmas Classics – Something for Everyone! My new Christmas Fingerstyle Guitar Collection features 40 festive favourites, including: 🎵 White Christmas 🎵 Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas 🎵 Jingle Bell Rock 🎵 Last Christmas 🎵 Fairytale of New York 🎵 Silent Night 🎵 O Holy Night 🎵 Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree 🎵 All I Want for Christmas Is You 🎵 Carol of the Bells Plus another 30 Christmas favourites, covering everything from traditional carols to modern classics. 🎸 Every Song Comes in THREE Difficulty Levels This is what makes the collection particularly useful. Rather than giving you one arrangement that might be too difficult, I've created three versions of every song. 🟢 Very Easy – For Complete Beginners Simple, single-note melodies that let you start playing recognisable Christmas songs without worrying about complicated fingerpicking patterns. 🟡 Easy – For Improving Guitarists These arrangements introduce bass notes and harmony, helping you develop your coordination while keeping the music manageable. 🔴 Full – For More Confident Fingerstyle Players Complete solo fingerstyle arrangements that combine melody, bass and harmony for a richer, more developed sound. The real benefit is that you can grow with each song. Start with the Very Easy version, move on to Easy when you're comfortable, and gradually work towards the Full arrangement. So you're not just learning Christmas songs. You're building your fingerstyle skills along the way! 🎁 120 Fingerstyle Tabs for Just $27! With 40 songs at three difficulty levels, you're getting 120 individual arrangements.

As a tribute to the late, great singer-songwriter Dolly Parton, I’ve arranged two of her most iconic songs for fingerstyle guitar this week: 🎵 Jolene 🎵 9 to 5 And Jolene is this week’s FREE TAB!

Hey, This week's new fingerstyle playalong is based on Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan. For those of you who are new to the group, I've recently started creating a series of fingerstyle playalong arrangements that are designed to be played along with the original recording. Instead of learning a full fingerstyle arrangement, you'll learn a series of arpeggio patterns that fit the song's chord progression. If you're not familiar with the term, an arpeggio is simply a chord played one note at a time instead of strummed all at once. Many of the most popular fingerstyle songs are built around arpeggio patterns, so they're a fantastic skill to develop. I love these exercises because they help you work on: 🎵 Fingerpicking accuracy 🎵 Thumb independence 🎵 Chord changes 🎵 Rhythm and timing 🎵 Playing along with real music They're also a great stepping stone towards learning full fingerstyle arrangements, because many of the techniques carry straight across. The Easy Version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door is available free just this week. To download it: 1️⃣ Go to the Classroom tab 2️⃣ Open the Free Weekly Tabs classroom 3️⃣ Download the PDF and Guitar Pro file If you'd like the Full Version, it's available as part of this week's Fingerstyle Tab Club bundle. For just $7 per month (less than $2 a week), Tab Club members get access to a new collection of tabs every Monday. The bundle changes each week, but everything you download is yours to keep forever. This week's bundle includes: 🎵 Zombie – Full & Easy Version 🎵 Mull Of Kintyre – Full & Easy Version 🎵 Knockin' On Heaven's Door Playalong – Full & Easy Version 🎵 Space Oddity – Level 1 & Level 2 To join: 1️⃣ Go to the Classroom tab 2️⃣ Click Fingerstyle Tab Club (the first option) 3️⃣ Join and download anything you'd like 4️⃣ Keep the files forever Have a listen and let me know what you think of this playalong format. I'm really enjoying creating these and have plenty more planned.

Hey everyone, It’s Monday, so I’ve got some new materials ready for you. This week’s Tab of the Week is the beautiful Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. You’ll find both the Full and Easy versions available to download in the Classroom tab. This week’s practice tip is a simple but really important one — using a metronome to improve your timing. It’s something we all know we should do, but don’t always do enough (myself included). If you’re just starting out, I’d really recommend building this into your practice now. It’ll help you avoid bad timing habits and make everything feel much smoother as you improve. Quick update — I’m currently working on getting more of my full back catalogue uploaded here. It’s a bigger job than I expected, and I want to make sure it’s organised properly so it’s easy for you to use. But it is coming, so thanks for your patience while I get everything set up. Enjoy the tabs this week, and let me know how you get on with Sound of Silence! Jack
