Tommy Emmanuel's Boomchick Workouts
Fast Track Your Fingerstyle with 15 Essential Practice Sessions
Fingerstyle guitarists know that specific techniques serve as the foundation of their craft. One of the most fundamental - and versatile - is the boomchick technique. It's the rhythmic heartbeat of countless songs, spanning genres like country, folk, blues, and ragtime. At its core, boomchick is a simple but incredibly effective way to play the bass and rhythm simultaneously, creating a rich, full sound that imitates the interplay of a bassist and rhythm guitarist.

Tommy Emmanuel's Boomchick Workouts completes an unrivaled educational trilogy that guides players through an interactive curriculum designed to impart the technical and creative skills inherent in boomchick fingerstyle guitar.

Tommy's first two editions, Milestone and Breakthrough, imparted the essential skills and a foundational repertoire. Boomchick Workouts is the rite of passage to becoming an accomplished fingerstyle guitarist capable of tackling the entire songbook and performing professionally.

”I'll guide you through a series of 15 progressive, bite-sized lessons, workouts, and playalongs designed to help you practice and nail the dexterity you need to take on tunes from the boomchick fingerstyle repertoire.

I'll break down exercises in each workout to build your independence, rhythm, and control - learning to keep that steady bass line while adding melody and harmony on top. After each lesson, we'll play through the workout together in a play-along session.

Even if you only have a few hours a week, if you put in the time and focus on your practice correctly, you will get it down. I'm so excited to share my experience as you take on your boomchick journey.“
