This follow up to Fingerpicking for Folk Guitar will dive deeper into more challenging excerpts from an eclectic mix of the world’s best folk guitarists, including Doc Watson, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Paul Simon, Elizabeth Cotten, Violeta Parra, and more. We will also revisit the concepts of rhythmic and melodic independence with creative and challenging exercises.
