What is Fingerstyle Guitar?

Fingerstyle guitar is a way of playing where you use your fingers instead of a pick to pluck the strings. Each finger has a job, which makes it easier to play melodies, bass lines, and chords all at once. Think of it like playing a mini orchestra on your guitar. Fingerstyle lets you create rich and complex music because you can play multiple parts at once. It’s versatile, and you can use it in folk, classical, pop, or even rock music. With fingerstyle guitar, both children and adults can learn to play the songs they’ve always dreamed of. It’s a great way to bring music you love to life.

Hello, I'm Behzad, your instructor for this course. I created this website to support my teaching and to help students and families learn more about what I offer. I teach guitar, ukulele, violin, and viola to students of all ages and levels, with lessons that are clear, encouraging, and tailored to each person’s goals. Whether you're just starting out or preparing for music exams, I’m here to guide you step by step. I also share learning materials, videos, and songs from different cultures to make lessons more fun and meaningful.

If you are serious about learning the guitar, I will guide you step by step through three levels of proficiency. As a beginner, you’ll learn to read music, build strong technique, and master core pieces using a step-by-step method. If you’re at the intermediate stage, I’ll help you take your playing to the next level by refining your technique and improving your sound. For advanced players, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to perform the repertoire you love with ease and expression.
