After getting your feet wet (hand position, plucking motions, notation, simple examples) in Fingerstyle Basics, you'll begin to expand your horizons with Acoustic Fingerpicking Styles, touching on arpeggios, block chord styles, and more. In Travis Picking, you'll learn the ubiquitous technique that originated with country legend Merle Travis and has been used and adapted by countless others like Chet Atkins, Paul Simon, and the Beatles, to name a few.

In 12-String Guitar, you'll learn a few of the finer points about applying the fingerstyle technique to this unique instrument and see why players like John Denver and Roger McQuinn (The Byrds) heavily favored this sound.
