ACOUSTIC GUITAR PRIVATE LESSONS: Fingerstyle Guitar Essentials This book-and-CD package offers 12 of the best fingerstyle lessons from past issues of Acoustic Guitar magazine. The book is divided into three sections: Building Technique, Arranging Songs, and Using Alternate Tunings. If you're just getting started, Chris Proctor will show you how to coordinate your thumb and fingers, while Jim Wood will teach you how to use fingerstyle accompaniment to create subtle timbres and textures. Mark Hanson will teach you to arrange for solo guitar, while blues wizard David Hamburger gets you thumping out a steady bass drone, spinning single-note licks and double-stops, and playing 12-bar blues. You also get nine complete songs to play.
