Course Description

playing songs, that is the most fun and significant thing for me as a guitar player, that is what I mainly do when I'm playing. Learning new songs, widening my repertoire, is what motivates my playing, and keeps my enthusiasm burning. It sets new challenges, allows you to learn new techniques, new chord shapes and voicings, and new picking patterns.

In this course, I created fingerstyle arrangements for 6 songs, from beginner to intermediate level. Such as Oh Susanna, Choral from Beethoven 9th Symphony, El Condor Pasa, Greensleeves, Scarborough Fair, and The House Of The Rising Sun.

Through these arrangements, we'll learn the alternate bass picking technique, and how to develop thumb and fingers independence. We'll learn how to combine harmony and melody together. We'll learn songs in the key of G major, C major, A minor & E minor, in 4/4, 3/4 & 6/8 time signatures.

And all of that, with a practical thorough method, like in a private 1 on 1 lesson, no stone will be left unturned. Every song is broken into smaller digestible pieces, so you can practice each bar separately and learn through your hands.
So, grab your guitar and join me in the Fingerstyle Guitar Songbook!

Instructor Details

Nir Mehlman

Born in Dimona, A small city in the south of Israel. Started playing the guitar a the age of 12.5, and since then never put it down. Learned classical guitar at the local conservatorium, and contemporary music and blues with local guitar teachers. At first, I loved to learn the songs of The Beatles. A turning point in my guitar playing was when I discovered folk music, and the beauty of fingerstyle guitar, with artists like Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Nick Drake, Tommy Emmanuel, and more.

Since then (about 16 years ago), I have mainly played fingerstyle guitar, I compose and arrange for fingerstyle guitar and love it very much.

In the last ten years, I mainly taught guitar playing, from kids to adults, I try to reveal them to the magic of guitar playing and the magic of acoustic and fingerstyle guitar, many of my students buying acoustic guitars which for me is a great achievement.

The teacher is teaching slow and clear and the course is easy to follow. What I also like about this course, is that you can message the teacher if you have questions about the content of the course. Communication with Nir is excellent, he responses quickly.

By Eddie McCoy on 12/28/2024

I didn't get the beginning of the picking in number 11 and your fingers didn't look like the TABS. I'll watch it again and maybe again until I get it. You're doing fine.

By Tony McAteer on 12/20/2024

Great course! goes over everything slowly and in great detail.

By Gertrude Roxborough on 4/11/2024

The tutor is very clear, and I believe what I would learn. I also like the type of music he has chosen.

By Ernst von Voigt on 3/1/2024

Sehr gutes Lerntempo. Der Lehrer zerlegt die Stücke in kleine, leichte Häppchen, die einfach nachzuvollziehen sind.

NIR IS A EXCELLENT TEACHER, EVERYTHING IS NECESSARY AND NEEDED TO LEARN THIS STYLE OF GUITAR.

By Patrick Howard on 7/16/2023

Love Nir style of teaching. Very thorough without being too technical. Excellent teacher and I can highly recommend his guitar courses.

By Jus Pusa on 5/5/2022

Breaking down things to easily manageable unit is Nir s teaching style. I can now basically play all the songs in the course only not up to the assigned tempo. I love the way the songs arranged. I have all Nir courses(three, at the moment) and I have only finished this one by now. Thank you Nir!

By Tony Sansone on 1/22/2022

Nir's approach to teaching is excellent, very slow and steady and highly recommend this course for anyone looking to improve their overall guitar playing skills. I have been playing for over 15 years and I can't believe how much more clarity I'm gaining with this course.

By Edward N. on 1/21/2022

Nir's teaching style/method takes you by the hand like no other! Not rushed and easy to follow step-by-step instruction. Familiar songs with a great teacher!
