I'm thrilled today! Even though I had trouble learning fingerpicking from various videos, I finally got it down within a week thanks to this specific video. Not only was the instruction clear, but the close-up view in the video made it much easier to follow along and grasp the technique quickly.

Thank you very much. I am a beginner, and I just made that pattern part for my fingerpicking practice routine. I got the three thumb registers nicely combined and am working on those and then I will incorporate the finger registers. I get to practice a tune and to do finger picking exercise at the same time. This is awesome. Just what I needed. Liked and subbed.

Those are cool patterns. But there are only arpeggio’s. Because you have to sing with them I like playing bass lines and melody and harmony all at the same time. I’ve been doing this for 49 years finger style guitar is a beautiful way of playing a guitar. It’s hard to do but in the long run it’s well worth it to learn it. I also feel like reading music is a sensual to go with finger style guitar playing. One compliments, the other I should know this I’m a solo instrumental, guitarist, but you have excellent teaching skills. Thanks for the video.👍🏼👍🏼❤️😁🎸

Jonathan what brand and model of guitar is that, please? It's gorgeous, but why would they put the hole at the top rather than the middle?

@SimplifiedGuitar 9 ай бұрын

it's a McPherson Sable. The reason behind the hole placement, is to have the longest part of the body undisturbed by a hole, for better reverberation. Their guitars are ingenious. Look them up.

How about the minor chord,how wil u pluck it.tnx Sir.

@SimplifiedGuitar Жыл бұрын

the picking is the same for minor chords. The only thing you need to remember is the root note of a chord, which will change the thumb position of the plucking, for instance G, the root note is located on the low E string, whereas A, the root note is on the A string. So the thumb will switch for the fingerpicking. But whether it's an A major or A minor, the root note is A for both, and therefore the plucking is the same.

I've noticed that some pickers have malformed thumbs like yourself...is this because you started young and just ended up like that, or are BOTH thumbs like this? 🤔

@choiceblade 4 ай бұрын

I LOVE this comment...taken at face value. I HAVE this same thumb (ironically, which I regard as the aesthic ICON of human thumbdom) but whatever, you prolly have a differently shaped thumb (and clearly iconic in from your own perspective), and so here lies the truly valuable nut of your observation. One could argue both windows: weird thumb, different thumb, dumb thumb, etc) ...OR...thumbs don't matter (I know. A highly triggering suggestion amoung primates) but that really it's balls. BALLS... or the permission one gives oneself to model the successful and acheive simailar RESULTS for oneself. Right?!?
