Course Description

Learning is a process of taking the impossible and making it possible, this 13-hour course is like many private lessons. If youll follow closely, and play slowly, again and again, the movements will eventually get into your body and fingers, and then it happens, we can play the thing that we couldnt play before. And that exactly how I teach in this course, slowly and repetitively.
So take your time, play, and it will happen.
I hope I manage to deliver you my love for fingerstyle guitar and music.
The course 1st section is: TECHNIQUES AND FUNDAMENTALS needed in order to play fingerstyle guitar.
The 2nd section is an EXERCISE - PICKING PATTERNS section with many exercises that will lead the way to play fingerstyle songs and arrangements.
And, a SIX TUNE SECTION, with REAL songs and arrangements that will take your playing to the next level. It is a really wide repertoire, from a classic tune, through folk blues songs, another fingerstyle arrangements for two beautiful songs, and another blues song for the swing.
Another Very important section is the "HOW TO LEARN METHOD" section, in which I explain and walk through 5 GUIDELINES FOR LEARNING AND SUCCEEDING in learning a new tune. A guidelines that I use my self and with my students. Also in my teachings here I show exactly how to use them and how to practice and play.
A bonus section that I added to the course is The Four Steps For Making Your Own Fingerstyle Arrangement, in which I explore the ways and steps for creating beautiful arrangements. Hope to see you inside the course.
All the songs used in this course are by permission by ACUM Israel.
Who this course is for:
Beginner to intermediate guitar players who wants to develop their skills and enrich their guitar playing with some great fingerstyle songs, fingerstyle arrangements and picking patterns.
Songwriters who want to enrich their guitar abilities with advanced picking patterns and beautiful folk songs.

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. Learnt classical guitar at the local conservatorium, and contemporary music and blues with a 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 mainly play fingerstyle guitar, I compose and arrange for fingerstyle guitar and love it very much.
On the last ten years I mainly teach 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.

Although I know much of the preliminary course info. I still find the tips useful and relevant. Video quality is great. Instructor presentation is great. I feel that I will pick up a few things that will make me a better guitarist; if that happens I'll be satisfied.

Clear and goal directed. Good instruction and good speed for a beginner but good review for more advanced. The instructor really does accomplish what he reports he will accomplish!
