I've played fingerstyle guitar for 50 years (boy, hard to believe) but boy, using that pinky is a killer.

While I've only looked at the one counterpoint video, what I liked about it was that it wasn't stressing technique too much. When I attempted taking some on line Delcamp courses, there was so much emphasis on proper technique and an insistence on using only the rest stroke, that it was off-putting for a player already experienced in non-classical guitar. While I'm sure there are reasons to instill good technique, I think too much emphasis on it can lead to frustration and then to quitting.

EDIT:

Just watched Romanza Lesson Part 1 and am looking forward to giving it a shot! I love the light attitude you assume in these, making this fun and approachable!
