Be sure to click on the chapters markers to move from topic to topic! This is a compilation of my "How to Play Ambient Guitar" course posted from 2015 to 2017. All of the episodes are still relevant and I use these techniques every time I play. I hope you find this of use as you look to develop your skills and unique personal style in AMBIENT GUITAR!
