It's easy to find oneself in a situation where fingerstyle guitar becomes somewhat of a solo pursuit, and the fingerstyle guitar community is rather small. You don't need to be a fingerstyle guitarist or even a guitarist, and I would gladly learn songs from your repertoire, regardless of the genre, to play together. I aspire to become a better musician and improviser, and I truly hope there's a fellow Stockholmer out there who feels the same way and is willing to reach out to me :)

A bit about myself:
I grew up in Stockholm and currently reside in Vasastan. I've been immersed in fingerstyle guitar since 2020 and have been a member of ProGuitar since the summer of the same year. I've learned from many of Emil's lessons and picked up numerous arrangements by Emil. I've also learned arrangements by Tommy Emmanuel, Joe Robinson, and other songs within the fingerpicking repertoire.

I also sing and play some country, blues, jazz, and popular music. Sometimes, I post a bit of fingerstyle on my Instagram:

If you're interested, please respond here or email me at fabianrudberg@gmail.com. We can play at my place as long as we coordinate when my fiancée is elsewhere :)

Kind regards
Fabian

Thank you Emil!
I've looked it up. It's 44 mm. Good to know!
I've started experimenting with an acoustic guitar which has a 42 mm wide nut. It feels too small for my hands but! .... the problem with the unclean muted sound is gone. Apparently i have to try other sizes too untill i have found the right one.
It is a huge relief for me now!
Thanks again!

Best regards,
Kavi

Hi there!
I set my guitar necks very straight, and I have as low action as I can without the strings buzzing. Sometimes this requires a fret job, to get it comfortably set up. I use daddario phosphor bronze 12-53.

Sometimes, when you feel disappointed with the sound and feel, it can simply be because of the guitar - but you might not know exactly what you're looking for in a guitar.
Did you try many different guitars yet, or do you feel like you've found the right one?
Kind regards/Emil form Sweden

Hej Björn!

Det är verkligen en smaksak med gitarrer, men personligen tycker jag om mindre gitarrer med OM (eller liknande)-kropp för just fingerspel. Det finns en tydlighet i fingerspel som jag upplever kommer fram på ett fint sätt med den typen av gitarr, om man jämför med större gitarrer eller Dreadnaught etc. Jag har faktiskt inte koll på hur Furch GC SR är, men en snabb googling så verkar det som en väldigt fin gitarr, och en av deras mer exklusiva instrument. Jag tycker Furch är ett väldigt bra val. Mycket gitarr för pengarna också!
Min som sagt, min smak för fingerspel är OM-kropp eller liknande. Det är viktigt att testa testa testa! :)
Ha en fin dag Björn!

Sorry in advance if this is posted in the wrong section.

I recently bought a Martin 000-15M. I really like the guitar, but I feel I struggle a bit too much playing fingerstyle songs. The action on the lower E string is at around 2.1 mm and the higher E is at about 1.7 mm (measured at the 13th fret with a capo on the 1st fret)

I've noticed that Emil's playing seems to effortless, and I'm wondering if a low action a part of that. Obviously there's a lot more going on than just low string action, as he is a world class player.

Also one of Tommy Emmanuel's top 10 tips is to get the guitar setup right.
I've read that he has a very low string action (12th fret):
Low E: 0.137mm
High E: 0.127mm

I'm curious to know what people consider a high or low action. Is mine high or low? Should I get it set lower? I'd love for my guitar to be a bit easier to play.

Thank you.

Hi there!
You are right! Tuning the guitar down a half step releases some tension and for some people it might feel a bit easier to play! The playability has very much to do with the setup of the guitar. How high the action is (strings far away or close to the fretboard), string gauge, angle of the neck (truss rod), playing style etc etc. What I suggest you to do is to try a much lighter string guage, to see if it feels ok to play even in standard tuning. Also, if you haven't already, get your guitar set up properly in terms of neck angle and action. The guitar should be easy enough to play in standard tuning. IF you feel like you still have to tune down a half step, and wants to play together with a backing track in E or something, and want to play using open strings etc, you could download a software that can change pitch for your backing track (for example the software "Transcribe!"), and tune down the pitch a half step. Then you can practice along to it. This obviously doesn't solve the issue when you're playing together with other musicians :) You'd have to be in the same key as them, whatever they play ;-) Anyway, let me know if I can help with any further question! Kind regards/Emil

The reason that it is such a great scale, is that
is has only five notes in it, and therefore it already sounds like a melody. That's why it's fairly easy to make music using this
scale. This idea is a good example of how you can use this scale to get around the fretboard, using the same shapes within
the minor pentatonic scale! Have fun!

A ghost note is often produced to creata a percussive effect, or just
a different way to express the line. It is often heard by country guitar players, and "chicken pickin'"
is the style of playing that you should check out if you want to learn more on this topic!
In this example, we're using the thumb on the right hand to pluck that A string while we mute
the string with our left hand. The ghost note is marked with an "x" in the notation and TAB.
Have fun!

(D7, D9, D13 etc..) What is cool about this
one is that it would work great in a country style song, a blues song or a jazz song. It kind of has a little bit of everything in it; Blues,
Country and Jazz!

What's interesring with this lick, is that we're actuallt playing it in the same
position rather than moving it down the fretboard using the same set of strings. Playing it this way makes it a bit more
difficult, but it's so useful if you want to play it in any key! Have fun!
