Check out these examples:
Finger picking
Improve your fingerpicking skills.
With these 25 different patterns in 3 different time signatures, you’ll learn to use all four of your fingers independently.
From simple arpeggios like in ‘House of the Rising Sun’ to intricate Travis Picking patterns.
Perfect for blues, pop, country, classical, and folk
Spider exercises
Very useful exercises to learn how to move your fingers independently and gain total control over them. You control which finger you want to move/place, not the fingers themselves!
These exercises are great as a warm-up before you start working on your pieces.
From exercise 5, we’re talking about ‘spider’ exercises because your fingers move across the neck like a spider.
Improvisation Navigation
The Solo Guitarist’s Roadmap.
To create solos that are instantly recognizable, it’s important to not stay in one scale the whole time.
As a base, you have the pentatonic scale, and you can combine it with two other scales in any key.
Reading exercises
nooToon is a comprehensive tool for learning to read music that is fully customizable to the user’s level.
“It offers the following features: Notes with or without sharps and flats.
Notes in the first 5 positions or all over the neck.
Notes on a staff with fixed accidentals.
Practice without or with a timer. A comprehensive report of your progress
And you don’t need a guitar to use it, so you can practice anywhere, on the train, in the garden, or wherever you want
Bossa Nova rhythms
This style is one of those that really lets the guitar shine.
It’s especially well-suited for the classical guitar with nylon strings, but the electric guitar sounds great too. The unusual chords from jazz music also make it a fantastic way to expand your chord library.
The most common patterns are shown in sheet music and tabs and are played for you.”;
