* Fingerstyle is a new genre of solo guitar music in Vietnam, which has been thriving in recent years. One simple way of describing this genre is that with only a single guitar a performer can play as if he is an entire band. Fingerstyle brings about a whole new perspective for the acoustic guitar and is currently drawing attention to the guitar-music genre from our community.
