This lessons has a fingerpicking exercise using to get you use to using pinching techniques which are used a lot in both modern and classical guitar music. This week we are learning the famous Christmas carol Silent night and over the next few week I will be uploading several Christmas carols for guitar in fingerpicking or fingerstyle.

This fingerstyle guitar lesson is part of a guitar course that teaches you how to play the guitar finger picking style, and whilst fingerstyle is most used with acoustic guitar lessons you can also use this style of play with electric guitar. Hopefully if you watch each of the guitar lessons in this course and practice what you are learning you will become an accomplished 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 fingerpicking guitar on an acoustic guitar as it can sound just as good on an electric guitar. Fingerstyle 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 practise 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.
