Folk Guitar is the cornerstone of contemporary music. Migrating from Europe as the "common man's music", this genre soon flourished throughout the new world branching into rock, country and blues. During the '60s and '70s, a wave of folk guitarists exploded onto the music scene that included likes of James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce and Simon & Garfunkel. This group of guitarists have inspired many modern day musicians.


In this series, you'll learn the style and techniques used by each of these guitar legends by focusing on finger-picking chords, playing various chord progressions and even using acoustic solo techniques. The magic of the folk guitar sound comes together when you can play all these techniques to form an orchestra of sound created by a single guitar. Many of these patterns are at the intermediate and above level, but most beginners will find some of these guitar patterns easy to learn and very inspiring to play as well.
