Fingerstyle Guitar

INTRODUCTION TO FINGERSTYLE GUITAR


   Many guitarists who advance beyond beginning guitar still use basic guitar techniques and simply get better over time in using those simple methods.   Using a pick to strum or play individual notes.  Fingering chords.    Many of them do not ever experiment or experience new techniques.  Many of these techniques involve the fingerstyle, or fingerpicking, guitar style.

  Using your fingers to play the guitar, rather than a pick, opens up new and exciting variations and choices.  There are many things you can do playing fingerstyle that you just cannot do with flatpicking.  Here are some of those techniques that you might wish to practice and experience.  All of these techniques will take time to not only master, but to be comfortable using them.  Don’t expect to get to this point without practicing them over and over again.

   Here are a couple of other Lessons on playing Fingerstyle Guitar.   Take a look and then let us know if you have any questions about the techniques.
