Is the Acoustic Guitar Workshop right for me?
It doesn't matter where your guitar playing is right now; you're going to expand the horizons of your playing dramatically when you join.
Maybe you've been playing electric guitar and you want to brush up your acoustic technique... Or maybe you can strum a few chords but want to move your playing on some... Perhaps you want to learn how to create professional fingerstyle arrangements to accompany your favorite songs...
"I have played guitar for over 15 years now and have taken everything from private lessons to University level jazz guitar lessons. My playing has improved by leaps and bounds with this course. This was the best $$$'s I have ever spent. Keep up the outstanding work! Outstanding customer support, too."

Whatever you want, get ready to have a whole bunch of fun in the Acoustic Guitar Workshop. And here's an important point to realise: whatever style of playing you like - blues, jazz, classical, folk - there is a common ground of techniques applicable to all forms of fingerstyle.
For example, when you master the art of arpeggiating, you can apply this to an acoustic rock song, or a cool piece of Spanish guitar. It's handy to put labels on music, but the underlying techniques you use to express the music with your guitar are remarkably similar.
