Guitar Fingers takes a deep dive into the mechanics of guitar technique with hundreds of pictures, diagrams, and exercises in an unprecedented level of detail.
The book steps back in a guitarist's technical development to stop, break down, and analyse left and right hand technique under the microscope. Over 250 colour pictures and diagrams illustrate the book and more than 200 short exercises isolate each technique with the goal of gradually developing or bettering the motor skills it calls for.
Seasoned beginners will find the nuts and bolts of fundamental technique while intermediate and advanced players will have a chance to (re-)examine theirs and make corrections. All will raise their awareness of the intricacies of guitar technique. Guitar Fingers ambitions to be a modern technique handbook for the modern guitarist.
