Practicing Tips

This learning resource provides beginner finger-style guitarists with tablatures in Exercise 1, Exercise 2, and Exercise 3 Styles. The key focus is on the 'fingerstyle' method of guitar playing.


Playing alongside backing tracks can provide a delightful learning experience. Concentrate on specific measures and keep repeating them for a better grasp. The 'Speed Up' function steadily increases the playback speed, which is beneficial for achieving higher speed levels progressively. Start at a pace that feels suitable for you. The 'Speed Up' function will then slightly increase the tempo each time you play the song.


General tips for learning and practicing include repeating segments, slowing down the pace, and progressively increasing the speed. Understanding the rhythm and breaking down the song into smaller sections can also be effective.
