"Do you have any sense for whether one or the other is better for certain styles of music?"

Ohh thats a tough one to answer. From my experience Lisa's seems more geared to Folk, Celtic or Classic Irish jig style, with traces of some old country mixed in.

Anders teaches a bit more modern style with various intros and outros. Think Chet Atkins or Doyle Dykes. His advanced lessons involve some muting and percussive slaps. You see a lot of that in music now.

Both build on Travis Picking, which is like the holy grail I guess of fingerpicking, but again there are variations involved there as well.

However like I said the foundations are both strong and similar and could be applied to any genre I would think. Also, I believe in each genre track there are styles suited more for that type like Blues, and Country each has some finger picking lessons in them.

The world of fingerpicking is immense thats for sure.

Hope that helps.
