Schott Music Workshop Fingerstyle Guitar

Fingerstyle guitar lets a single player cover rhythm, bass, and melody simultaneously—creating the full-band experience on one instrument. To help guitarists master this captivating technique, Dieter Kreidler—renowned guitarist, composer, and conductor—offers Workshop Fingerstyle Guitar, a collection of 25 original solo pieces.

These compositions are sequenced by difficulty, guiding players from foundational techniques to more advanced arrangements in a clear, step-by-step progression. Drawing inspiration from Baroque lutenists and the alternating-bass patterns popularized in the 1920s, each piece reinforces essential fingerstyle skills while showcasing melodic inventiveness.

Designed for use in private lessons and group classes, Workshop Fingerstyle Guitar includes duet versions of every solo, so teacher and student (or two students) can work together on the material. Detailed tablature makes learning each piece straightforward, and downloadable demonstration videos provide full performances to support practice at home. Whether you’re an instructor seeking structured lesson material or an advanced player eager to expand your repertoire, this fingerstyle guitar method delivers a comprehensive, engaging path to musical independence.
