What we’ll be covering

For those that have been following our Blitzing Finger Style Guitar Series  you’ll enjoy this arrangement of Simon & Garfunkel’s famous song Bridge Over Troubled Water. The song showcases Art Garfunkels vocal prowess and shows the true writing power of Paul Simon. The melody is as iconic now as it was when it was first released and will likely still be played for many years to come.

We will be teaching you how to play a unique arrangement for solo finger style guitar that combines all the signature elements of the song into one performance.

Attending the sessions

By default, you’ll start every session with complete anonymity i.e. with your mic muted and your camera switched off. You have total control of these at your end.

You can ask questions at any time:

  • Using the online Chat facility
  • Simply unmuting your mic
  • Switching on your camera and unmuting your mic

It’s all very friendly and there isn’t such a thing as a daft question – they usually lead to deep, interesting streams of very relevant stuff!

IMPORTANT POINTS

  • You will receive the Lesson PDF just prior to it being run.
  • The lesson video will only be available after the session has run. It is usually uploaded and the link sent to students 1 to 2 days after the lesson.
  • If you don’t want to be on the live video recording keep your camera switched off. 
  • If you’ve missed a course you can still purchase it as part of the group of lessons.
  • If you want to be part of the online session, please avoid booking in on the day of a course. This ensures that you’ll get the Joining Instructions in time.

BUT this shouldn’t put you off booking in as you’ll receive the full materials including the video of the complete live session.

Start slowly – if you decide to book just one session but then become interested in other sessions just buy them on the website.
