"Are Diads single notes?"

No, diads are 2 notes played at the same time. The term "diad" means "a pair of something". In this case 2 notes played together.

This is an A5 diad because the note A and the note E are played together and they are a 5th interval apart.

That's followed by an A6 diad. The note A and the note F# are played together and they are a 6th interval apart..

I cover the picking & fretting of combining those as a bluesy riff in tutorial I linked above.

"I was also told that there is an excellent fingerstyle course in the acoustic section of the website where do I find this?"

Depends on your skill level. Anders does some good beginner fingerpicking lessons in the GF 2 course.

Lisa does some good fingerpicking tutorials as well.

You can find a whole series of fingerpicking tutorials in Lisa's instructor directory. Scroll about halfway down the page.

"Are there any lessons on flatpicking from beginner stage and onwards please."

I cover basic picking technique for picking single note lines in the form of scales in my old GF 2 course.

Best of success!
