Advanced Chordal Fingerstyle Study

< BACK Subscribe Now Subscriber Login

This study piece was written as a resource for working on the chordal fingerstyle technique, where the strings are played with the thumb and fingers in a similar way to that of a classical guitarist. As you’ll find out when working on this piece, it’s a technique that translates really well onto the bass guitar.
