I don’t know if you’d call what I do “fingerstyle”....
I play mostly chord-melody arrangements using (essentially) classical-guitar technique.
This is not theory-heavy stuff; I follow Joe Pass’ advice on a little video he did...
“Figure out the melody and find chords that sound nice.”
I have a repertoire of “standard” jazz chords.... My old fingers don’t like super-stretches or forms like Ted Greene shows....
My goal has been to improvise freely while using that chord-melody format. Sometimes it works...
