Hi everyone! If you've ever wanted to learn fingerpicking acoustic guitar, well, here's some motivation for you! In the interest of generating community spirit and motivation to progress, we're going to have a friendly little challenge:

This is for Full Members only, because you'll need a full membership to go through the lessons. If you're a registered user only, you'll need to sign up but hey, maybe now's the time!

The first person to upload a video of themselves playing Lisa's theme song wins! :Its Never Too Late
Just post the link here in this thread, and I'll go watch it.

Prize is a brand spankin new Planet Waves capo :

Listen, I know the prize isn't much, but its not about that. This is chance to dive in and learn something new!

Please Be Honest: This is for people who are playing acoustic and are learning fingerpicking. If you already know how to fingerpick well, or even know the song, please don't enter.

Video & Sound Quality: don't worry about the video and sound quality too much... i-phone videos are fine... all we care about is how well you play the song, not the production quality.

here are the links to

Its Never Too Late: http://www.guitartricks.com/tutorial.php?input=662

The start of the fingerpicking course: http://www.guitartricks.com/tutorial.php?input=596

You can always find these lessons by just clicking on the "Instructors" tab at the top of the page, and then clicking on Lisa McCormick.

Good luck guys, and have fun!
