About this course
Welcome to Play Acoustic Guitar 7: Style Variations for intermediate to late Intermediate students of Acoustic guitar.
This Acoustic Learning Path core course is presented by 4 top TrueFire educators: David Hamburger, Marcy Marxer, Cathy Fink, and Vicki Genfan.
The Style Variations curriculum is comprised of select Acoustic guitar lessons from the educators’ existing TrueFire course libraries.
One of the qualities that attracts all of us to the guitar is the virtually infinite range of styles and techniques that are possible on the instrument. Having a grasp on a wide variety of styles and techniques not only broadens your musicality, it opens the door to many more playing opportunities with other musicians. You’ll gain more clarity on the instrument overall and expressing yourself on it will become a richer experience. The video guitar lessons in this core course will diversify your skill set and help take your playing to the next level.
Play Acoustic Guitar 7: Style Variations is organized into 4 sections. In the first section, you’ll work on developing swing rhythm guitar chops with Marcy Marxer. Bluegrass rhythm guitar is focused on in the second section presented by Cathy Fink. Three more fingerstyle blues performance studies from David Hamburger await you in Section 3. Vicki wraps up your style adventures in the fourth and final section with 3 open tuning performance studies.
When you’ve completed the lessons here in Style Variations, you’ll find lessons focused on variations in Grooves & Etudes, also a Play Acoustic Guitar 7 core course.
The educators demonstrate all of the key examples over jam tracks (where and when applicable) to simulate a real-world application, in a musical context. All of the key examples are also tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes.
You’ll also get Guitar Pro files so that you can play, loop or slow down the tab and notation as you work through the lessons. Plus, you’ll have all of the available jam tracks to work with on your own.
Take as much time as you need to work through each video guitar lesson before moving on to the next lesson. If you want to dig deeper or wider into any of the topics covered in this core course, check out the recommended supplementary courses in your learning path where you’ll find more examples, techniques and insight from top TrueFire educators.

Swing Rhythms
As you work through the 4 swing guitar performance studies from Marcy Marxer in this first section, you'll learn the moveable chord voicings, inversions, chord progressions, optimal right and left-hand positions, and variety of requisite techniques you'll need command of to play swing rhythm guitar.
TIP! When you start to work on rhythm parts, remember that the number one thing you should be concerned with is staying in time! This might sound obvious, but sometimes it is easy to get distracted by trying to get a cool move or technique down and we forget about keeping it in time!
So always work on a rhythm part slowly at first, using a metronome to make sure the whole thing is staying in time. If you find one part where you keep losing time, then stop and just work on that part until you get it solid. Remember, rhythm is built from the ground up - so make sure you lay the foundation of a groove before you start to worry about all the fancy stuff!

Practice slowly with me, then slide the positions back one fret or up one fret and see what happens. It's fun to explore the boundaries of musical taste.
