This is what I was looking for. Now my right hand doesn’t hurt!
There is one problem but. The picking is so close to the bridge that I can barely hear the sound. So I try to pick very hard, and my fingertips started to hurt :/
How about doing a video about other techniques of relaxed fingerpicking? Please
This is an brilliant video explaining sound guitar technique. If folks follow this then they won’t end up with arthritic fingers after 40 years of playing. Why it’s not a full 5 star average is a travesty!
Thats a fantastic educational video, are you a teacher or something as you get the message across very well. I sort of knew the basics to fingerpicking but so far have not managed to correspond it with a chord change yet, ah well keep trying I guess.
OK, no day job for me! I like the sound of that. You are right, the thumb is parallel, so many people use a thumbpick when playing this style, I have gotten used to using the side of my thumb or a thumbpick. Keep practicing and you will get it.
The stability from having the heel down feels excellent, thanks. But that makes my thumb parrallel with the strings which feels slightly awkward, particularly on the D string. Is that how it should be? Maybe I just need to get used to it. Don’t get a day job – you’re needed here!
thanks

Like your teaching..but I giggle at the way you say finger..you have a small accent and it comes out FEENGER>
..Thanks for all the excellent lessons!!
Nice style….but, it moves the fingers alittle behind the soundhole. I prefer the sound when played directly over the soundhole
this is one of the best finger picking how to’s i have ever seen on youtube. keep up the fantastic work
there are left handers’ guitars available too
just fyi
dang im a lefty
Thank U!

Thanks for this. It has helped alot.
Thanks! I’ve been struggling with “Blackbird” and switching to your technique a week ago has made it much simpler.
Nicely, patiently clarified. And quite right about the thumb rhythm being the main thing- I reckon it’s the only thing that really matters.
Thanks! When you present a topic, its like you read the mind of a rookie. You’re a excellent teacher.
