One Minute Fingerstyle

Fingerstyle Guitar – One Minute at a Time

A collection of free, under-one-minute fingerstyle arrangements of iconic songs.

Welcome to “One Minute Fingerstyle“!

In this series you’ll find all the arrangements I’ve been playing over the years in my live shows. Each song features fingerstyle patterns and techniques from a variety of musical genres and styles.

The purpose of this free series is to expand your repertoire and make you practice fingerstyle guitar by learning real songs. I call it “One Minute Fingerstyle” because each arrangement is less than a minute long and highlights the most memorable part of the original song.

Almost all the songs are in standard tuning, and the difficulty ranges from easy to advanced, with most falling in the easy-to-intermediate range.

This series is my way of giving back to my amazing students and the entire fingerstyle community. Also if you’re a professional or semi-professional guitarist playing acoustic covers at gigs, you’ll find this series pretty useful.

I hope you enjoy playing these arrangements as much as I enjoyed creating them! — N
