We’re happy to announce that our latest course, Intermediate Flatpicking with Scott Nygaard, has just launched! In Scott’s new course, you’ll learn to play fiddle tunes and other bluegrass and roots melodies, with an emphasis on alternate picking, simple scales, and developing good picking- and fretting-hand technique. Designed for guitarists just starting to play melodies on the guitar as well as intermediate-level players wanting to work on their flatpicking technique.

Watch Scott’s course overview video above, and get started today with Intermediate Flatpicking Guitar on Peghead Nation.

Peghead Nation co-founder and editor Scott Nygaard is a Grammy-winning guitarist and one of the most inventive and original flatpicking guitarists in the bluegrass/acoustic music scene. His solos, a seamless amalgam of bluegrass, folk, and jazz influences, shift easily from breathtaking virtuosity to soulful melodic musings and his accompaniment is always intriguing, supportive, and propulsive. Scott has taught at many of the most popular guitar and bluegrass workshops and camps in the United States.
