In this lesson I teach you how to play “The Path of the Wind” from My Neighbour Totoro, composed by the incredible Joe Hisaishi.

This is a gentle, dreamy Studio Ghibli theme that works beautifully as a solo fingerstyle arrangement on acoustic guitar.

I’ll take you through the whole piece step-by-step, slowly breaking down the melody, chords, and fingerpicking patterns.

Tabs are shown clearly on screen throughout to make learning easy.

🎸 In this tutorial you’ll learn:
• Full fingerstyle arrangement (melody + harmony)
• Right-hand fingerpicking patterns
• Left-hand chord shapes and transitions
• Detailed breakdown of each section
• Tabs on screen for the entire piece

If you enjoy Studio Ghibli guitar music or want a peaceful piece to add to your fingerstyle repertoire, this is a lovely one to learn.
