3. What are the best songs to start learning Fingerstyle Guitar?

 

If you are new to the Fingerstyle Guitar School, we recommend starting with arrangements that focus on steady bass patterns and simple melodies.

Recommended for Beginners:

  • First Steps: Start with songs labeled as the lowest level to build your foundation.
  • Modern Ballads: Try "The Scientist" (Coldplay) or "The Power of Love."
  • Technique: Visit our "Exercises" section for essential thumb-independence drills.

You can find these easily by using the Search Box Filter on our "GUITAR TABs" page—simply filter by level to display the easiest arrangements first.

4.Can I pay a one-time fee for membership to access sheet music and tutorials?

Yes! Our membership is a simple one-time payment.

You get full access to all sheet music and tutorials for exactly one year.

  • No recurring charges
  • No automatic renewals
  • No need to cancel anything

Your membership simply expires after 365 days. If you wish to continue, you can choose to renew manually.

5. If I subscribe, will I have access to the entire video library including PDF’s (tablatures) of the music?

Unlimited Access to Everything.

Yes! Your membership entitles you to exclusive access to the entire array of tools designed to help you master fingerstyle guitar:

Note: You do not necessarily need a PayPal account to pay; you can often checkout as a guest using your credit card through the PayPal gateway. All transactions are encrypted and 100% secure.

9.Do you offer discounts for loyal customers?

50% Loyalty Discount

Active members can extend their journey for half the price of a new membership.

You can renew anytime while your membership is active. The extra year is simply added to your original expiration date—you never lose any days!

Practical Example:

If your membership expires on Dec 20, and you renew at the discount price on Nov 12, your new year will still start on Dec 21.

Important: The discount applies only to uninterrupted memberships. If your membership expires before you renew, the discount will no longer be available.

Extend your membership anytime in the “Packages” section of your account.

10. What should I do if the videos aren't loading or the site feels slow?

If you experience issues with video playback or site performance, please try these quick solutions:

1. Refresh your Cache: Often, a quick browser refresh (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+R) fixes loading errors.
2. Check Browser Version: Ensure you are using a modern browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari for the best experience.
3. Video Quality: If your internet is slow, click the 'gear' icon on the video player to lower the resolution (e.g., from 1080p to 720p).

Still having trouble? Send a brief description of the issue to info@soymartino.com and we will help you get back to practicing as soon as possible!

11. Do you accept payments in U.S. Dollars ?

$ / €

Yes, we accept payments in both Euros (EUR) and U.S. Dollars (USD).

How to switch: Look at the top right-hand corner of your screen (right next to the "Login" button). You will see a currency toggle that allows you to switch between $ and € instantly.

The prices across the entire site—including the "Packages" section—will update automatically to your chosen currency.

12.What makes a professional online Fingerstyle Guitar School different from YouTube tutorials?

Why choose a structured Fingerstyle Guitar School over random YouTube videos?

While YouTube is great for inspiration, our Fingerstyle Guitar School provides a structured path that saves you months of frustration.

  • Professional Accuracy: Many free TABS online are incorrect. Our arrangements are 100% accurate and verified.
  • Detailed Technique: We don't just show you what to play; we explain the fingering and hand positioning required for complex pieces.
  • Progression: Our library is organized by difficulty, allowing you to grow from basic patterns to advanced percussive fingerstyle.
