Instructional DVD - Fingerstyle Guitar Basics I

Singer-songwriter, critically acclaimed recording artist, and fingerstyle guitarist, Marjorie Thompson has taught hundreds of aspiring guitarists in workshops all across the country. Here's your chance to learn from Marjorie and be on your way to mastering what many find to be the most satisfying method of guitar playing. Even if you can only strum a song or two, these lessons will give you all you need to become an accomplished player.

In these lessons, Marjorie guides you through --
  • the fundamental terminology and techniques
  • the way to develop an "independent thumb" essential to fingerstyle mastery
  • pinches, plucks, rakes, and reverses, all while maintaining an independent bass line
  • basic pattern picking, then more advanced Travis and inverse patterns
  • how to embellish with hammer-ons and pull-offs
And she even gets you started toward the true sign of fingerstyle virtuosity: playing an independent bass line against a picked melody line.

If you've ever wanted to play like a pro -- for yourself, to join others in a band, or to accompany friends who like to sing -- this DVD will get you well on your way. Well, this DVD and practice, of course.
