Chat GPT definition of fingerstyle:
" Fingerstyle is a technique used in playing stringed instruments, most commonly associated with guitar playing. Instead of using a pick or plectrum, the player plucks the strings directly with their fingers, usually using the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. Fingerstyle allows for greater control over dynamics, tone, and articulation, enabling players to create intricate melodies, harmonies, and bass lines simultaneously. It's widely used in various genres, including folk, classical, jazz, blues, and more."

What is the difference between the course and patreon?

[@MKFingerstyleAcademy]

Hi Alfreda, Patreon gives you access to my arrangements, think of it like unlimited access to a PDF library, and 'some' exclusive tutorials for one-off songs. It assumes you already know how to play fingerstyle
The course teaches you how to play fingerstyle from scratch to the intermediate levels through a 40-song progressive journey alongside basic theory and basic techniques that covers posture, nails, hand techniques, fingerpicking, string sets, legato, position shifts, you name it!
So if you need to learn how to play + fix habits and progress through grades: course
If you want to access lots of PDFs: Patreon
Note the course gives you PDFs of 40 songs from Prep-Grade to Grade 3.
Both give you access to my private community where I provide feedback on daily basis and monthly workshops
