Fingerstyle Basics

Fingerstyle Basics

Fingerstyle guitar is a very expressive and enjoyable way to play guitar, requiring some new dexterity in the picking hand. It’s a “hands-on” approach to playing guitar. So, put your pick away for this lesson and let your fingers start to make music!

This lesson covers…

• Proper Hand Position for Fingerstyle Guitar

• Developing Effective Finger Coordination

• Fingerstyle Patterns

The coordination involved takes time to develop, but it’s well worth it. It will take your playing to a new level. Have a great lesson as we learn this very rewarding way to play the guitar! - Steve Krenz

Steve plays a Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 True Vintage in this lesson.
