November, 2015.

A chilly breeze was blowing from the East. 

The smell of toner hit my nose as I entered the print shop to pick up some colour posters. 

The plan was to hang them in coffee shops so that clients interested in guitar lessons would call and book a trial lesson.

As the clerk showed me the finished result, the guy behind me waiting in line spotted my work and said, 

Oh, a guitar player. 

You must know Tommy Emmanuel. I wanted to burn my guitar after hearing him.

I said, who? I had never heard of him before.

Hi, I’m Brett Vachon.

Brett playing Classical Guitar

As you can tell by my instrument, I’m a classically trained guitarist.

Sure, I knew about rock music and Nuno Bettencourt, but that style just never resonated with me. 

I preferred classical guitar, or acoustic finger picking.

My world totally changed, however, when I went home and watched Tommy Emmanuel play Pink Panther aon YouTube.

I was totally blown away. Here is what the guitar was meant to sound like!

 So, I thought with my training, fingerstyle would be a breeze. But I was wrong...

You see...

As a classically trained guitarist, I had a strong foundation in technique and theory. 

So I bought Concepts by Howard Morgen, thinking it would unlock everything I needed to know about fingerstyle guitar.

But I was missing the magic—the percussive effects, the jazzy runs and chords that make fingerstyle guitar so captivating.

That was when I realized I had to break down those songs myself, so...  

I Became Obsessed with Learning to Play Fingerstyle Guitar Like Sungha Jung

After concluding that books weren’t cutting it, I watched hours of music videos. I studied Tommy Emmanuel and Alip Ba Ta in detail. 

Then, I went on a mission…

I Learned Dozens of Fingerstyle Guitar Songs To Figure Out What Makes Them Work

After I transcribed 22 songs by the best fingerstyle guitarists, I began to see a pattern.

Although the songs were different, there was one thing that tied them all together.

It wasn’t the hours of practice they had put in, although that helps. 

It wasn’t just the flashy licks, although they sound cool. 

It all boiled down to one thing — one approach to playing that is unique to fingerstyle guitar.  

And once I realized this one thing, everything else began to click.

That’s when I experienced my first "Aha!" moment...

And more importantly, I understood that if I could figure it out, I could show you. 

I’m going to guess that you are struggling—overwhelmed by all the fingerpicking patterns, unsure how to break down complicated techniques, and frustrated when things don’t come together.

And by focusing on this one thing through a clear, step-by-step process, you can make real progress with fingerstyle guitar.
