" I tried random YouTube videos for years. This challenge finally gave me a step-by-step path. Seeing progress every day was so motivating! "
Your instructor is an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist and fingerstyle instructor with 15+ years of fingerstyle experience. Starting as a self-taught bedroom guitar player in 2010, and later transitioning to formal guitar instruction, they know exactly where self-taught beginners struggle and how to shortcut the journey.
After teaching guitar to high school/ college students and adults in their 20's-30's, they realized beginners struggle with no clear path, jumping between random tabs and tutorials. The sheer amount of information on the internet can be overwhelming for a guitarist just starting out. Having been there, Ash created a structured 30-day roadmap that has become any aspiring fingerstyle guitarist's fast-track to early fingerstyle proficiency.
Ash's mission is to help self-taught guitarists build fingerstyle technique, musical understanding, and overall confidence by following "The Fingerstyle Path," a step-by-step, guided, do-at-your-own-pace fingerstyle learning system—so every aspiring guitarist can bring the music they love to life.

This course is for absolute guitar beginners or basic strummers who are looking to transition into fingerstyle guitar. It is also for those who feel shaky on their fundamentals and want to fill in missing information that they might have missed while teaching themselves guitar. If you are an adult learner looking to pick up a new musical skill or build on top of your existing skill, you have come to the right place!
No! We teach entirely through visual tabs and demonstrations—zero music theory knowledge required.
1) A guitar and 2) a guitar tuner OR a phone/tablet with a guitar tuner app downloaded. We recommend the free version of "Fender Tune" or "GuitarTuna." It is also possible to use tuner apps/websites on a computer to tune the guitar.
Just 15 focused minutes to complete the micro-lessons and 15-30 minutes to complete the practice exercises. Of course, you are welcomed to dedicate more time to practice as there is no ceiling to how much you can learn each day. Students who spend more time practicing using the dedicated methods that we teach can achieve results even faster!
Definitely not! This is a self-paced course, the curriculum is divided into sections designed to be completed in 30 days. However, we understand that life can be busy and you may need to pause for a day or a few days at a time. This course gives you complete freedom to finish as fast as you want, or come back when you have more time. We do recommend going through the course consecutively with as few pauses as possible to get better results.
Even with all of the trainings being consumable, we want to remove any hesitation or doubt by offering a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you are on the fence and wondering if this course can really work for you, we would love for you to check out the program stress-free. Refund requests should be sent to [email protected].
