GuitarNick, free guitar lessons and songs with full tabs and videos

The first level is designed so that beginners can learn through it and there are numerous combinations of fingering for both hands. Every aspect of the fingerpicking (or thumbpicking) guitar technique is explained in detail and all the fingering and the techniques used are clearly indicated.
The level is divided in sections with increasing difficulty level, when you have well assimilated the exercises of a section then you can move to the next. Good study.
