Beginner Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar: The Complete Guide to Playing Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar (1)

great book, very usefull for learning the basics of fingerpicking!

It’s useful for me, from the base to a little bit difficult part

Good intro to the topic with enough info for the intermediate player as well.

After receiving my copy of Beginner Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar, I downloaded the accompanying audio files. The lessons culminate in several songs, which sound great, and are more advanced than I was expecting. However, it wasn’t clear to me how I was going to get there from my novice state. When I played a sampling of files from the beginning to the middle, I could see that the lessons start out very basic, and build in a logical manner. I then sat down with my guitar and the book, and read the mechanics of the PIMA technique. Sometimes I would play the audio for a lesson, and then my guitar. Sometimes I would play from the tabs, and then confirm with the audio. Sometimes I would play along with the audio while reading the musical notation. There are a lot of things that one can learn by following this exceptionally well laid out book. In a very short time, I could actually feel my thumb and fingers becoming more independent. While I am still very far from being a good guitarist, Beginner Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar has given me the confidence that, with continued practice, I will ultimately get to where I want to be. To me, this is a major win.

Great book. I just started, but this is pointing me in the right direction. Very readable and easy to understand. Learning my first fingerstyle song.
