Greetings pickers! Today, I simply want to introduce you to a basic finger picking pattern that is outlined in the video link below.
While this technique is a little difficult, it is well worth learning, as it will bring a whole other dimension to your playing, your repertoire, and your guitar skills!
You will be using your thumb, your index finger, and your middle finger for this pattern, and this is a pattern that fits nicely into almost any song that is in 4/4 time. With so many genres (rock, country, pop, classical) using this pattern, you will have no trouble finding songs to practice on!
In essence, your thumb will be playing an eighth note pattern, utilizing the root of the chord along with the next adjacent string, while your 1st and 2nd fingers will be doing a dotted quarter-quarter-dotted quarter type of rhythm.
It's probably best just to watch the video below--so enjoy, and Happy Pickin'!
