Hey,
This week’s free fingerstyle exercise sounds great and is designed to help improve one of the most overlooked parts of fingerstyle guitar technique… using your little finger effectively.
But before I get into the exercise, I wanted to quickly mention something new.
Over the last few weeks I’ve had quite a few messages from people who wanted access to all of my materials but weren’t keen on memberships or recurring payments.
I completely understand that, so I’ve now put together a complete downloadable bundle featuring everything currently available in the classroom tabs as a one-time purchase.
That means you get all of the PDFs and Guitar Pro files from the current classroom library without needing a subscription.
The only difference is that future tabs, exercises and upcoming materials are not included, but they are for members.
Now back to this week’s exercise…
One of the biggest differences I noticed when I moved from “normal” guitar playing to fingerstyle was how much more you rely on your little finger to grab extra melody notes and extensions within chord shapes.
This exercise is designed to help develop that skill.
You’ll play a fingerstyle arpeggio pattern over common open chords while using your little finger to add extra melody notes into the progression.
It’s a great way to improve:
• Little finger strength
• Finger independence
• Chord control
• Fingerstyle coordination
• Smooth melody playing
The PDFs and Guitar Pro files are available now in the classroom tab.
🎵 And if you’re a Neil Diamond fan, make sure to check back tomorrow because this week’s new tab is Play Me.
Thanks
Jack
