The Acoustic Guitar Fingerstyle Method introduces you to the most essential fingerstyle approaches for playing American roots music: Travis picking and steady-bass style.

In each of the 18 in-depth lessons, you'll learn new techniques, concepts, and chord voicings and ways to practice and get them under your fingers. Then you'll use what you've just learned to play a classic song or solo break from the blues, ragtime, folk, country, and ragtime traditions.

Whether you are a teacher or on your own, let The Acoustic Guitar Method be your guide to the joys and pleasures of playing Guitar. This comprehensive approach, with graded lessons and supplementary songs, is the one tool you'll need to get started. On the companion CDs you'll hear clear performances off all the music in the book.
