Song Charts of the week

Current songs

Red (Taylor’s version) - Taylor Swift

Well, the Big Swifty has been and gone, playing to over a half-million concert goers and leaving as many more wishing they had been able to get a ticket! Red was one of the highlights of her shows, with the whole stadium turning a sea of, ummm, red! Rocky little number, this one and even features an electric guitar solo. Sounds best on electrics and acoustic steels.

 

Classic songs

Perfect - Ed Sheeran

This lovely fingerstyle number has become a wedding staple around the world since its release in 2017. Whilst the original is played on acoustic steel-strings, it sounds great on classical guitar. It can also sound good on electric guitars with medium-heavy gauge strings and wider spacing to allow for comfortable finger-picking.

MODERN GUITAR FINGERSTYLE 1

Proudly announcing our latest tutor book! Designed to compliment the acclaimed Modern Guitar Chord Styles series, this new title provides a solid process for mastering acoustic finger-style playing.

Perfect for intermediate players, teens to adults who have already consolidated common chords, rhythms and some elementary single-note ability. Excellent for plectrum (pick) players wanting to develop their finger picking. Includes dozens of graduated exercises for developing good tone and independent action in the picking hand, arpeggio patterns, chord accompaniment patterns, hammer-on and pull-off notes, basic alternate tunings and finger-picking solo styles.
