Adam Kadmon's phenomenal knowledge of guitar technique and popular harmony for the guitar informs every book in his highly successful Guitar Grimoire Series. Now he has created a special book, just for fingerpicking guitarists. Starting with basic fingerpicking chord patterns and expanding to major and minor scales and bass ostinato variations, Kadmon uses thousands of fingerboard diagrams, charts and musical examples (conventional staff and tablature) to guide and instruct the player on the best way to master the techniques of the finger-picking guitar and enhance their playing facility. Practical applications are suggested to make use of the material in the creation of original songs and compositions. The Fingerpicking Book is an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in this particular style of guitar playing.
