Summary of This Method

Advanced Fingerpicking Guitar Techniques. is a work dedicated to modern and traditional fingerpicking, designed to expand your musical palette while consolidating the technical fundamentals of fingerstyle playing. The arrangements highlight a great richness of textures, aiming to develop a true "orchestral" approach to the guitar: alternating bass and melody, inner voices, counter-melodies, and right-hand rhythm management.

Throughout the pieces, you work on typical fingerstyle rhythmic cells, counterpoint lines, as well as single-string passages (melodic playing on one string) that require precision, synchronization, and tone control. The content is aimed at guitarists wishing to go beyond classic accompaniments to approach complete and musical pieces, while maintaining a "workable" and enjoyable playing logic.

A significant part of the repertoire comes from Stefan's original compositions, complemented by arrangements inspired by major fingerstyle figures such as Big Bill Broonzy and Reverend Gary Davis, as well as other genre references. To support progression, the method also includes an in-depth explanation of tablature reading, along with an essay by Dale Miller dedicated to Stefan Grossman's major role in the fingerstyle guitar world.

Finally, the three included CDs provide a real pedagogical advantage: they allow you to listen to each arrangement in detail, better understand rhythmic placement, accents, and articulation, and work more effectively on interpretation.
