Hello, This little message from France: I started this instrument almost 1 year ago and I try to practice, alone, but with a lot of diligence. I just discovered your KZfaq channel: what a wonderful pedagogy; I hope to progress thanks to your good advice... Merci beaucoup, très chère Lara.

Really, really lovely, Lara. Thank you! May I ask what pattern you like to use on the very last line?

Thanks so much! I like to use pattern 3 on the final line 😊

You are quite accomplished. Is it possible to play Moon River fairly well using thumb strumming? My old fat fingers canNOT do both the chord changes AND the fingerpicking.

@LaraMarkowitzMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Certainly, you can follow along the same chords and strum them rather than fingerpick. I would strum on the first of every 3 beats. Thanks for the question!
