Hi, I am a lyric driven singer-songwriter and my guitar has always been just back up, But I’ve been told I need to improve my chops and have my guitar ad melodic enhancement to the song in between the words or at least at the end of phrases etc. I presently do fingerstyle with Not a lot of attention to bass notes. I could improve on bass runs as well as choosing which strings to pick when as well as using triad inversions with more conscious picking choices.
I am pretty comfortable using hammer ons and pull offs and sus2 and sus4 notes, And I use some basic borrowed chords, but I generally haven’t used much for note chords beyond the 7th and the hammer-ons and pull-offs here and there.
I’m looking for what lessons would best enhance basic folk singer-songwriter realm songs.
Thanks in advance!

Hi D, and welcome to the forum – If you want to learn what you say you need to learn, this is the place to do it. There is no game plan here, you just pick a lesson that sounds good to you, and learn it. A lot (probably most) of people start with fingerstyle blues lessons. That’s because you get straight into the pentatonic scales. So try going to the Weekly Lessons page, then have a look at the Search categories, or just enter into the Search window “fingerstyle blues” or “standalone blues”. Listen to some of them and pick whatever lights your fire. Then as an added bonus, record yourself after you’ve learned a lesson and post the video here on the forum. You will get lots of comments, and all of them will be very kind to you. Have no fear!
