Before you commence each lesson or practice session you will need to tune your guitar. If your guitar is out of tune everything you play will sound incorrect even though you are holding the correct notes.
On the accompanying CD the first track contains six notes corresponding to the six strings of the guitar. If you don’t have a tuner, you can tune your guitar to these notes. For full details on how to tune your guitar see Progressive How to Tune the Guitar.
Fingerpicking is most commonly played on acoustic guitars, however, all the styles and techniques in this book can also be applied to the electric guitar.
