Good evening. It has been a while

So let us speak of fingerstyle

Is it a genre? A technique?

You must admit: while hardly chic

There is one thing of which we're sure:

It has a certain deep allure

There is a vibe, there is a tone

It lets you jam all on your own

The chords are cool, the notes are bent

The repertoire is excellent

It's I IV V, but also not

Depending on what song you've got

And how you choose to play it, too

Which, best of all, is up to you

Because, and here is what I vote:

You do not have to play by rote

Entirely. One can devise

These elements that bring surprise

Like turnarounds and licks and such

And vamps, though here I only touch

The surface of a great fixation

Also, there's improvisation

But that is beyond the scope

Of what I'm here to say. I hope

To just remind you that you might

Still seize the moment now, tonight

And sign up for October while

New lessons in the Fingerstyle

Five membership are poised and ready:

Eight bar blues played with a steady

Bass. Join now, and you'll be in

Tomorrow, when it all begins

Play better, but without a pick!
