Welcome to the Acoustic Guitar Workshop
Many thanks for joining us and we sincerely hope you enjoy and learn some great fingerpicking blues and fingerstyle here. New video, tab and mp3 regularly added. Here's what is available on this site:

Video Courses: There's nothing like seeing things to speed up the learning process. Our split-screen videos show you picking and fretting hand simultaneously. To keep our costs down and make it affordable for our members, we host our videos at youtube.com. If we hosted them ourselves we'd have to raise our subscription charges by at least 10! Go to video lessons...

Audio Courses: These audio courses are supported by mp3 and realaudio. Some of the courses here are html and some are pdf downloads. Here you'll find lessons on Fingerstyle Blues, acoustic slide, beginners lessons, chord harmony and scales, jazz blues and more. Go to audio lessons...

PDF Lessons: Here you'll find one-off lessons on a range of ideas and subjects - of course all to do with the acoustic guitar. Each lessons comes in two parts: a pdf showing music, tablature, notation and written content by the teacher and an mp3 of the audio. We add to this section on a regular basis. Be sure to download both parts. Go to PDF lessons...

Tablature: This is midi-based notation, in standard and tab format. The big advantage of midi tablature is that you not only see the music, but you can hear it too. You can also slow it down and speed it up. Slowing down the tempo helps when you are trying to get to learn tricky passages. We have Tabledit and Powertab libraries. Go to tablature...

Mp3: Listening is learning too! We always encourage our students to listen to as much of the music they are trying to master as possible. That's why we have a number of mp3 radio stations on this site. We add tunes and make new download available on a regular basis, so be sure to tune in often to see (and hear!) what's happening. Go to mp3 radio...

Library: We've handpicked a selection of acoustic guitar books for you. The internet is great but sometimes you just can't beat the real world and a real book! We've split the library into several sections: one section deals with general titles, methods, seasonal etc and the other sections focus on books by particular artists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Martin Simpson etc. Go to library...
