Your site has really been a wonderful influence on my music and has taught me about patience and practice. Mickey seems to be a wonderful musician that I can only aspire to emulate.

This is just a thank you and a keep em' comin' with those fingerpicking lessons, but please mickey, I love standard tuning, please teach us some effective fingerstyles when utilizing the standard tuning. It is something that I have only been able to accomplish through creativity, droning, and Travis picking, I NEED MORE, just joking, but if you do have anything that you think is neat, please do post it. Take care and God-bless!!!!!!

You've got it Jeremy! I'll focus on tabbing out some standard tuning fingerpicking pieces. There are many possibilities for our online lessons such as: including the different bass pattern exercises, many of the arpeggios available within chordal progressions, roll patterns, etc. It's a vast world in the fingerpicking realm. I'll do my best to bring more focus to standard tuning fingerpicking; I appreciate your kind words and your focused input.

Keep on Pickin', Mickey

Mickey,

Greetings Mandy,

Hello, my name is Mandy Todd and I am writing on behalf of my dad. He is starting to learn the guitar and found your website. It is hard for him to try and play and move the screen over to see the rest of the lesson. Do you sell these lessons in book form, which would be better for him to learn.

We've been requested this many times...I guess we'll need to go to work on transcribing our online lessons to book form...please stay tuned on our website...

There is another way to resize the on-screen viewing so that no scrolling would be required: try increasing the monitor's resolution...the reason we've made the on-screen manuscripts so large, was for ease of viewing...which, of course, compromises the ability to print out to 8.5x11 format...it's a possibility that your monitor may be already set at its highest resolution, and if this is the case, then there may not be an alternative to scrolling...Mickey
