Hi Laco!

There have been many requests on Fly me to the moon, and I'd love to do it. Unfortunately it's tricky when in comes to publishing tabs/notation because of publishing rights etc. However, I might be able to do a free lesson on YouTube on those arrangements - teaching them in slower tempos and show chord diagrams etc, similar to this: https://youtu.be/cSdvOT7FXAk?si=oo7aHON4ii7vk57w

Kind regards/E

@lucascamparadiniz Sounds great Lucas!!

Hi Thomas!

The lessons have different skill levels, although most of our material is in the upper intermediate to advanced field, with the majority of lessons focusing on fingerstyle guitar playing.

At the moment, there are no specific suggested order when it comes to the lessons, but the free course "Fingerstyle Guitar Basics" is a good start if you want to learn more about fingerstyle guitar and how to get the thumb more independent from your fingers. There are short promos for almost all lessons, so be sure to watch some of those first to see if there are any specific lessons that interests you. As a premium member, you get access to all the material on the site! A good thing might be to start with some free lessons, and if you like them - continue and subscribe for a month to see if you like the content. You can always cancel the subscription before the next billing period.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions! I'm here always, happy to help! :)
Kind regards/Emil

Hi!
Have you experimented with different brands of strings? Certain strings bring out the best of the instrument, and it's great to try different types of strings and brands to hear what strings work the best for that particular instrument. If it sounds boxy, I'd definitely think it would brighten up with the right kind of new strings.

Hi Larry! Sorry for my late reply!
I'm not able to offer TABs for this arrangement because of copyright reasons. So glad you like it though! Let me know here if there's anything you're wondering about regarding that arrangement - maybe I can help in writing.
Kind regards/Emil

Hi Jonathan!
So sorry for the late reply!
Really glad that you're part of the site!! :)

This is a great question, and many players are wondering about this.

The reason for anchoring the pinky on the pickguard is for stability and so that you get a steady right hand that is not floating around too much when playing. Many people do this - such as the players you mentioned, but also Chet Atkins and many other great fingerstyle players.
The big advantage for this is that you can bring up your hand from the bridge - so that you don't mute any strings, but still get a steady hand. For instance, watch Tommy at 4:28 in this video, where he plays a open string run (in the song "blue moon") with all strings ringing out beautifully - but he still has that steady hand floating over the bridge - because he is able to use his pinky to have a real steady hand even though nothing is muted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZA7g0A7asI

Some players rarely do this, like myself. I get the steady hand from having my palm on the bridge and/or from the right arm against the top of the guitar, so to speak. So when I don't want to mute the strings and play an open run for instance on the lower strings - it's a little bit more difficult for me to have a real steady hand without muting anything.

So I'd say that using your pinky on top of the guitar can be a great thing! But if you're like me, that might not feel natural to do - and that's ok too! :) Some players rarely use the pinky on top of the guitar and sound great anyways, so it's all about finding your own way of playing that feels good. Try practicing an open string run using most strings - and see if you can get your hand real steady without muting the strings. That's a great way to work on this!

Hope this helps!
Kind regards/Emil

Hi Phil!
The notation for my arrangement of "Here, there and Everywhere" have never been available on this site, so you might've gotten in through me over email way back maybe? I've demonstrated that song in some live workshops and clinics.
So glad you like the site Phil! :)

Hi Dean!
Thanks so much for sharing here on the forum!

You mentioned that you're getting mixed up where to jump in when you're playing with other guitar players. The good thing is that you're listening, and that is step one. Always listen carefully to what the other player is doing. To have a bit of trouble playing with others when you haven't played a lot in those situations before is super common, and it's just something that most people go through at first. I would recommend you to play together with recordings, and try some of your songs with a metronome and stick to it for a few weeks and you'll notice a difference. Try to play the melody only with a backing track or a metronome, and be as expressive as you can. You'll think its a bit tricky in the beginning but that's only natural and we need to keep trying. Record yourself playing with the metronome and you'll notice even more what you need to work on. You need the listeners perspective, because sometimes it's difficult to really hear how you sound when you're in the middle of playing a song. Therefore, recording yourself is essential to get better. The more yo play with other people the faster you'll learn how to do that. And for solo guitar, it's great to record and listen back a lot too!

Thanks so much for being part of the forum!
All the best/ Emil

@peter-0
Hi Pete!
Unfortunately I don't have that one written out. Maybe there's a Chet Atkins book that has a similar arrangement of that tune but I'm not sure!

@wood-dog

Hi!
I sometimes indicate the slide symbol up to a certain note with a line that doesn't particularly say from what exact note to slide from. The reason is that it varies so much. I might slide from a half step below sometimes, and other times from a whole step below or more. So in the TAB that you're speaking of, you don't see what note I'm sliding from in the TAB. But you hear me explain it when I go through the example.

@frankspeer Hi!
Hmm, sorry to hear that it seemed to not work. For me it works.. is it still not working for you?
Kind regards/E

@alfie
Haha! Country, Jazz and Blues are relatives - so feel free to mix it up! :)
Glad you're here!

Hi Jack!

There are many brands that build amazing world class instruments. I've tried some guitars that are considered
some of the best guitars ever made - and some of them I didn't like at all, because they didn't fit my playing style, didn't feel
right in my hands and didn't produce a sound that I liked. But I have colleges that play that exact guitar - and it sounds amazing
and feels amazing in their hands. All about taste and feel just like strings etc.
Asking who makes the best acoustic guitars in the world is kind of like asking who makes the best music in the world.. It's up
to you what you like - and I always suggest for someone who looks for a new guitar to try as many instruments as possible.
The guitar that you just don't want to stop playing - that's the one! :)

I'd say it's not about price either, because there are certain guitars that have a sound and/or a feel that just makes you want
to keep playing it, but the guitar doesn't necessarily cost a lot at all.

But this is just my humble opinion and I'd love to hear what other people think about this subject!

Thanks for asking about this Jack!!

@wojciech
Hi!
Sorry to hear that!! It's difficult to say if you're making a mistake in terms of how you're fretting the chords/holding the guitar without seeing a picture or film of your hand when playing - but if it's a problem that keeps occurring I'd go to someone with medical background to or physiotherapy to take a look at your hand problems. I've always gotten the advice to stop playing if my hand hurts, and then rest - so that you don't get even more problems. Does this happen right away when you start playing or after a few minutes or even an hour?
