The Progressive Guitar Method is a series of books designed to take the guitar student from a beginner level through to a professional standard of playing. All books are carefully graded, lesson-by-lesson methods which assume no prior knowledge on your behalf. Within the series all styles and techniques of guitar playing are covered, including reading music, playing chords and rhythms, lead guitar and fingerpicking patterns.
Progressive Guitar Method: Fingerpicking Guitar assumes that you have a basic knowledge of guitar. You will need to know the notes on the first 3 frets of all 6 strings (the open position), basic timing, chords and key signatures.
All this information is contained in the book Progressive Guitar Method: Book 1 . We recommend studying this book as it contains information that all guitarists should know.
Progressive Guitar Method: Fingerpicking Guitar will introduce you to right hand fingerpicking patterns that can be applied to any chord, chord progression or song. Playing chord shapes with these patterns will allow you to provide accompaniment for any song. After completing this book you will have a solid understanding of fingerpicking and may wish to study more advanced fingerpicking styles such as Ragtime, Classical and Flamenco. See Progressive Classical Guitar Method, Progressive Fingerpicking Guitar Licks and Progressive Fingerpicking Guitar Solos.
