Guitar lessons for beginners on how to play fingerstyle guitar lessons 2, this is our first tune in the finger picking genre and a duet. Over the next few weeks these guitar lessons will be part of a complete guitar course in fingerpicking guitar.

The complete fingerstyle guitar course can be viewed online with the PDF eBooks at

This is our first easy guitar tune whilst learning to fingerpick. The tune is Gingerbread by Sad Fantasy and can be played by a single guitar or as a guitar duet. However, because most people at this stage wont have someone to play along with or will be too shy to share there new found guitar playing skill, I have also provided a recorded backing consisting of a metronome beat and the second guitar part at various speeds. By the end of this tutorial and with a little practice you will sound like an experienced guitarist.

Fingerpicking style guitar is used in virtually all styles of music and therefore is really useful to learn. Whilst finger picking guitar is most associated with acoustic guitar you don't need to learn finger picking guitar on an acoustic guitar as it can sound just as good on an electric guitar. Finger style guitar is used in classical guitar, folk, bluegrass, rock, blues, jazz and virtually any style of guitar you can mention.

This is a series of carefully designed progressive lessons that will carry you through from an absolute beginner on the guitar to a good level of proficiency in fingerstyle guitar. The GCH Guitar Academy guitar lessons are published to YouTube on a weekly basis just as if you were having private lessons but with the advantage of having the guitar lessons exactly when and where you want them. This gives you time to practice the lessons on your guitar between lessons so that you get the most from each guitar tutorial and achieve your goals as a guitar player.

You will need some basic knowledge of guitar chords to do this course and basic knowledge of how to read guitar tablature so therefore I recommend you view the following 2 videos before starting on this guitar course.

At last a guitar teacher who evidently knows how to teach! Congratulations. You are clearly aware of the many learning styles and seamlessly accommodate all of them with such clear, gentle and practical methods. Although I have 'played' for a few years, I've decided to start right at the beginning and am glad I've done so.
