Fantastic new approaches to help diversify and excel with fingerstyle playing
I am still pretty fresh to this course, but I've spent a few hours with it now. I have a lot more to cover and also go over again, but the content is great and really fun to play. Calum explains the concepts, for the most part, quite well. He is a talented musician and a bright instructor and I am learning a lot from his course. I will continue to use it and I will update my review if I run into any problems, but otherwise this has been a 5/5 course and I believe it's likely to remain that way for me. Great stuff, definitely recommended to anyone who is late beginner on Fingerstyle or early intermediate and wants to advance their fingerstyle with new and beautifully melodic techniques and phrases.
