This is a lesson on folk fingerstyle strumming. This technique is something I learned from listening to guitarists like Elliot Smith, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings and The Carter Family.
You’ll learn how I incorporate this style into my regular arpeggio laden, classical guitar influenced playing. This is a very useful technique to add more textures into your current fingerstyle technique.
Do you have a question about guitar playing? Please leave a comment below & I might cover it in a future post. =)
