Fallen in love with the pure unadulterated sound of an acoustic guitar? Want to learn how to press those pesky barre-chords on those thick strings? Or perhaps you know that already but want to play like Al di Meola or Tommy Emmanuel? Let’s get strumming then!
The acoustic guitar is a beautiful instrument capable of a wide variety of melodic as well as percussive sounds. Although most people begin their musical journey on an acoustic guitar, few people ever master the splendour of this instrument and that we want to remedy!
