*Stairway To Heaven: Note by Note
*Classical/FingerStyle Foundation Course
The "Online Classical/Fingerstyle Course" uses The Principles, and a number of new and powerful Understandings, Tools, and Exercises to enable you to master the foundation techniques of Classical/Fingerstyle guitar. The textbook for the course is Aaron Shearer's "Classic Guitar Technique Vol 1".
Without the guidance of The Principles and the "Online Classical/Fingerstyle Course", there is simply very little chance you will master the material in this popular book (in 35 years of teaching, I have met many people who "went through the book, I have never met anyone who could play the material well, without flawed technique). With this course, you will have an incomparable advantage!
If you want a SOLID foundation of technique in Classical/Fingerstyle Guitar, one that you can confidently build as you play more advanced material, do yourself a favor, take the "Online Classical/Fingerstyle Course" at GuitarPrinciples!
