Crafting Effective Fingerings

Taught by renowned guitarist 

Thomas Viloteau

In this course, Thomas Viloteau demonstrates how thoughtful fingering choices can improve both technical ease and musical expression. Rather than treating fingerings as fixed instructions, Viloteau shows how to approach them as flexible solutions shaped by phrasing, efficiency of movement, and physical comfort. Learn how to evaluate and refine your fingerings with greater awareness and confidence, exploring how shifts, stretches, open strings, barrés, and right-hand organization all influence the way a passage feels and sounds.
