ACOUSTIC EXPO 2013: It's an obstacle most fingerpickers will face at some point: how do you take that step from picking easy open chords to playing more elaborate ideas covering a wider range of the guitar neck?
Well, this video lesson will help you take those first steps to tackling such a tricky approach.
