A New Focus

I think that instead of getting a new electric guitar, I'd like to get a Martin acoustic. My Epiphone Casino can handle just about everything I want to do electrically. I think I want to put learning improvising on hold for now. Not that I won't do it, but I find myself moving in a direction: Acoustic guitar in general, and specifically, fingerpicking.

Now I'm finding that there are generally two kinds of styles in this genre (and of course there are probably more but I'll focus on the two most prominent to me): acoustic fingerpicking blues, and acoustic fingerpicking in general. I'd like to focus on the latter.

I dug out a book that I had in my collection and I'm going to take a shot at it: "The Art of Solo Fingerpicking" by Mark Hanson.
