A Great Course for Honing Your Fingerstyle Playing
I recently completed Trevor Gordon Hall's Fingerpicking Practice Plan and enjoyed it so much that I decided to buy his Fingerstyle Picking Hand Mastery class, and I'm glad I did. I really appreciate Trevor's teaching style and approach to the material. He does a fantastic job of presenting and explaining each exercise in detail so that you understand exactly what you should be doing and why. The exercises are both interesting and melodic. Trevor is also very positive and encouraging. I'll definitely be buying more of his courses.
