Some of the things you’ll learn in this venue:
The House of Rhythm

- Essential picking patterns and techniques for adding variations
- Multiple styles of fingerstyle blues in different keys
- Travis picking and pedal tones

Go beyond “campfire strumming” with lots of great techniques that will make the guitar swing like never before!
We’ll cover the following (among many other things):
Flatpickers Saloon
- My best tips for keeping time
- Using different techniques to create a rich and dynamic rhythm sound, like a muted/percussive strum to simulate a snare drum, palm muting, and more
- Adding walking bass lines to “walk” from one chord to the next
- Adding variety with passing chords, extensions, and rhythms to get the most out of playing chords

Special Time-Limited Bonus
Only available until June 27, 11:59pm ET
To celebrate the reopening of Acoustic Adventure, I’ve added a special little bonus to the course. This is meant as a bit of an incentive for you to go ahead, join the course, and start practicing! This bonus is only available during the first five days after the course opens, and will expire June 27th at 11:59pm Eastern Time in the U.S.
Skill-Building Song List
To continue practicing the skills you’ll learn in the course, I put together a “setlist” of over 20 handpicked songs from artists such as The Who, John Mayor, and Vasthi Bunyan. The songs are grouped by skills (fingerpicking, flatpicking, and strumming) so you can hone in on the techniques you want to practice with some great iconic songs. Along with each song title listed, I’ve included a few tips from me about how to approach learning it.
These songs have all helped me in some way to become a better player, and they’re the perfect thing to take on if you’re looking to prove yourself and further practice the skills you’ll learn in the course. Adding some of these tunes to your repertoire will not only be great as practice but is sure to make the most of your newly minted acoustic skills!
*For copyright reasons I can’t include the actual tabs in the course, but I made sure that a quick Google search will give you the tabs for each song.
