How is this different from YouTube tutorials?

YouTube Tutorials

Teach you how to play one specific song.

You follow someone else's tabs, learn the song, and move on — still dependent on others for the next one.

This Course

Teaches you how to arrange any song yourself.

You learn the logic behind the arrangement — so you can sit down with any melody and build your own version from scratch.

Thanks to this method I arranged 100+ songs over the past year and grew my YouTube channel from 2,000 to over 25,000 subscribers.

FAQs

This course is designed for intermediate players who already know basic chords and can play simple fingerstyle songs. You don't need to be a virtuoso or have prior knowledge of music theory or arranging. Some basic music theory background is helpful but not required.
No. All musical examples and arrangements are provided in clear, professional TABs + step-by-step video walkthroughs. While standard notation is included, you can successfully complete the entire course using only the TABs and visual demonstrations.

I'm confident you will love this System. However, if for any reason you feel this course isn't right for you, simply email me within 30 days of your purchase for a full refund. No hard feelings.
No. The System teaches you to arrange in Standard Tuning (E A D G B E). No complex open tunings are required.
Not at all. While Module 2 covers the "Drummer" role, the focus isn't on complex guitar-drumming. We use percussion as a functional tool to drive the groove and keep the beat. You'll integrate simple, effective percussive hits without sacrificing melody or harmony.
Forever. Once you buy the Fingerstyle Arranging System you'll access the materials at any time and download the PDFs to your computer. There are no recurring fees or expiration dates.

Who Am I

Nicola Pastori

Fingerstyle on the Streets of the World

For over a decade, I've performed as a street musician around the world — from Melbourne to Los Angeles, and across Europe. Those thousands of hours playing for real audiences, every single day, shaped everything I know about what makes an arrangement work.

Education

I graduated with top honors from the Rock Guitar Academy in Milan, then earned a summa cum laude degree in Popular Music from the Conservatorio Arrigo Boito — with a deep focus on composition, orchestration, and music production.

Professional Work

I've performed as a solo fingerstyle guitarist across the U.S., Australia, and Europe, playing over 500 concerts. I've also worked as a session player, arranger, and producer on various recording projects.

Teaching & Publications

I've been teaching guitar for over 15 years and have created several online courses focused on fingerstyle, performance, and arranging. This System is the distillation of everything I know about arranging for fingerstyle guitar.
