Become a Better Guitarist with Fingerstyle Guitar Techniques Program

Tomi Paldanius gets emails about his playing technique and why it sometimes looks easy and effortless. How to get that clean and dynamic sound? Is it about the practicing time, recording technique or guitar? The answer is that it is about the overall playing technique which Tomi learned from classical guitar masters about 15 years ago. This is the important foundation you can learn with this new great program.

Tomi took his classical training to the fingerstyle world and is now ready to explain, show and practice with you. These 75 most important guitar technique workouts will most likely be everything you need to get you playing to the level it should be. Tomi does not need hours practice time for his songs anymore because his foundation for playing technique is already built. You can now build that same foundation but also prevent all the mistakes Tomi did.

Personal guidance with Tomi

Every guitar player is different and every hand is different. If you want to improve fast there is certain things you need to look for which are preventing you to play relaxed, fast and clean. These are the things Tomi will help you to improve with "submit your weekly progress video" portion at the members area. Especially at the beginning it is very "sad" to see if you are repeating the same mistakes what you have done maybe years already. These need to be fixed at the very beginning.

This part of the program is optional but to get most of the program it is very much recommended that you send videos of playing the exercises so Tomi can send you a video back with the corrections to be made.

- Left and right hand detailed development (strength, speed, attack and how to build a clean sound)
