Welcome to this exclusive teaser lesson from the advanced guitar course by fingerstyle maestro Jarvis!
This is an advanced fingerstyle series following on from Andy's fingerstyle learning pathway. If this is at too high a level for you and you want more help - start here!
In this lesson Jarvis shows us how to play a piece called Robbin, which was inspired by a certain popular fingerstyle song from the 60s. This piece has a steady and even bass line with a little bit of syncopation in the melody, which makes for a challenging (but with practice, achievable) introduction to fingerstyle guitar playing. The fretting hand work is fairly simple, which allows us to focus on the picking hand techniques.
