Progressive Fingerpicking Guitar will provide you with an essential guide into the most common fingerpicking patterns used by modern folk and acoustic guitarists. A lesson by lesson structure has been used to give a clear and carefully-graded method of study.
No previous musical background is assumed, however it is advisable to have a basic knowledge of open chords before starting the text.* This will enable you to concentrate fully upon the right hand fingerpicking techniques.
Although only open chord progressions are used in this book, the fingerpicking patterns are universal in that they may also be applied to other chord progressions involving bar or "jazz" flavoured chords.
You should combine the study of this book with constant experimentation and listening to other players.
