Fingerstyle method
Can any one recomend a good fingerstyle method book that,
Works its way up from A to Z. Shows left finger pattern with tabs. Teaches something and at the end of that section gives a song to play with what you were just taught. Dave

Since you would like to learn the technique from A to Z--which will take some time--why not also add learning to read standard notation?

Ok then , I suggest the Sagreras method. ...its in six volumes and its only in standard notation.

Sagreras is awesome... but what kind of "Fingerstyle" are you looking to play? That term can cover anything from classic to folk to blues to jazz to new age, all with their own little twists. Were you thinking Chet Atkins/Tommy Emmanuel, Earl Klugh, Robert Johnson, or John Williams?

A lot of people like the finger style guitar from scratch books from Bruce Emery -aka the skeptical guitarist. My problem is it's all tab not notation, but having tried Hal Leonard and Mel Bay, I like the Emery books best for the content...

Check out the Frederick Noad books. The pieces come quick and they sound great. There are concert pieces in the back of the second book. I'll say that if you can play either of the last two, I want to get to know you. They are tough. Have fun, David

I notice that you used the Gibson "Learn and Master Series". The same company, Legacy Learning Systems, has a pretty extensive fingerstyle course. I also recommend William Kanengeiser's "Classical Guitar Mastery" and "Effortless Classical Guitar" for some excellent fingerstyle fundamentals (presented from a classical perspective, but applicable to almost any style of guitar playing). Mel Bay's "Complete Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar Book" by Aland De Mause is pretty interesting because it breaks down a lot of concepts in arranging and composing your own fingerstyle pieces (tons of applicable stuff on harmony). A great little "nuts and bolts" book/cd.
Woody Mann has a few good videos on acoustic blues guitar. These are fun to work through, and could keep you occupied for months. Good luck! Love your ambition, but you'll have to take things one step at a time. Can't do it all at once!

This is coming at a different angle but I recently needed to purchase a blues finger style type of book to learn with my brother. He is a strong electric guitar background but absolutely no music theory and no ability nor desire to read music notation. He has zero finger style background. I, on the other hand, want music notation so I was looking for something we both can learn from that actually taught songs.
I did a thorough search and decided to purchase the acoustic blues unleashed series by Griff Hamlin. It has both notation and tab and works through skills that end in real songs. While it's blues-based and you can use a pick or finger style, we both use our fingers and I think it is absolutely perfect for a person who wants to learn finger style type of playing with a blues slant. It is easy and it is working very well for my brother and myself. It also encourages the learning of fretboard knowledge, chords, and timing. Not a traditional beginner method book but I really needed something that produced results for my brother to stick with. Something that showed all the details.... Handholding.....This is the answer. It comes with DVDs and CD's of all the lessons. This is greatly helpful to my brother who is not fond of the metronome. This allows him to play along with the songs to get an idea of how it should sound. Different in deed but focused and taught by an experience instructor.... Bryan

3) Understanding DADGAD For Fingerstyle Guitar by Doug Young. As well as providing an excellent overview of DADGAD tuning(keys, chords, scales and arpeggio patterns) the lessons in this method include exercises and short pieces in a variety of styles such as Greensleeves, Twelve Bar Blues, and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list but just some suggestions to get you started. Good luck and happy plucking! Trevor |

Thanks for all the assistance you all have given.
Knowing me i will eventuall order all those books listed so far and see which one fits my bill. I have since gotten Nicola Mandorino alternating bass guitar method he is also known as guitar Nick. His book has been fun so far. Before this book i got the legacy learn and master fingerstyle, which gives tab and notation form, but for some reason i find the lay out of their book jumps all over and never grabbed my attencion. I am presently awaiting bruce emery book Will let you all know of my progress.

Less of a method but more an addition to a method
He mixes it all up From Sabicas to Ellington to standard classical Worth sourcing - different approach - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000...&robot_redir=1
