The Art of Solo Fingerpicking : How to Play Alternating-Bass Fingerstyle Guitar Solos (book and CD) (Guitar ... 10 reviews
Mark Hanson
Accent on Music, 1988
Best Lesson Book I have ever purchased
Many of the other reviews have said it first, but Mark Hanson has created an excellent series of finger picking lesson books.
The Art of Solo Fingerpicking is an intermediate fingerpicking book. If you can only strum a few chords or are new to fingertyle, start off with Mark's The Art of Contemporary Travis Style Picking first and then come back to this one.
The exercises (in both books) ...

The Art of Contemporary Travis Picking: How to Play the Alternating Bass Fingerpicking Style (Bk & CD) 35 reviews
Mark D. Hanson
Accent on Music, 1986
Comprehensive and Easy to Follow
This book has easy-to-follow instructions and enjoyable songs to play. I am only 1/3 of the way through this book, and thoroughly enjoying it. It has some familiar and not-so-familiar folk standards, leading the player through basic patterns first, then adding variations, melodies, ornaments and finally culminating in a full fingerstyle selection that will challenge almost any player at any ...

Fingerpicking Beatles and Expanded Edition: 30 Songs Arranged for Solo Guitar in Standard Notation and Tab14 reviews
The Beatles
Hal Leonard Corporation, 1996
Great Fun
Brilliant! Leonard has done it again, as "FINGERPICKING BEATLES" is another great compilation. The notation and tablature in the book are both of excellent quality, they are easy to read and are marked well. The difficulty level of the music is very consistent, any intermediate player will be able to play through the songs after a few tries if they are not able to site read them right off the ...

Fingerpicking Standards: 17 Songs Arranged for Solo Guitar in Standard Notation and Tablature3 reviews
Hal Leonard Corporation, 2003
Surprisingly good
I own this book and Fingerpicking Pop and these are currently my favorite books to practice out of. I'm a beginning guitarist and have gone through a lot of songbooks for "beginners" and they just sound horrible because they are so simple. The songs are arranged so that they easy enough for me work with but complex enough that I'm not bored. Great learning tool!
I also recommend The Very Best ...

Stefan Grossmans's Beginners' Fingerpicking Guitar2 reviews
Stephan Grossman
Alfred Publishing Company, 1996
Not for beginners
This is a fine book, with a lot of good material. But much of it is of medium difficulty, and some of it I still can't touch after five years of playing fingerstyle. That's very frustrating. I really like some of the songs on the CD, and it's terribly disappointing to see the described as "beginner," and then find that I can't even begin to play them. It would probably be easier to play some ...

Nice Arrangements for Fingerstyle Guitar
This series of Hal Leonard fingerpicking books is really excellent. I have several of these books (pop, acoustic rock, rock, etc,) and find the arrangements easy to play, easy to follow and accurate. These are not "how to" books, but rather a collection of sheet music with TAB notation for fingerpicking. Recommended for intermediate guitarists accomplished in strumming chords who are looking ...

Great licks and solos!
The licks in this book are a great follow-up to the Fingerpicking Guitar beginner book. Short licks don't take long to master and sound impressive. Good collection of challenging solos, including a couple Joplin classics. Includes an excellent introduction into open tunings via some great short pieces.

FINGERPICKING GUITAR SOLOS BK/CD: INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED (Progressive)3 reviews
Brett Duncan
LTP Products, 2004
Excellent fingerpicking material
The thing I really liked about this book is that the pieces are really fun to play and listen to. I've found that fingerstyle tunes often are just elevator music, especially at the instructional level, but these are really cool sounding. As the description says, it's for intermediate-to-advanced players; it doesn't teach fingerpicking skills, but what it does is give you some great material to ...
