Hey! A movie lesson without that irritating intro! Yippee!
Here's a lesson that breaks down a very common finger picking pattern into its several elements over just one chord. I've done a couple of other picking lessons of real tunes, but I think many players just getting into the art of finger picking find it difficult to keep changing back and forth between chord all the while trying to concentrate on the picking pattern. This lesson is just over a C chord.
There's no need for me to go on and on with this written commentary because I talk throughout this movie. Once you do get a good feel for it, have a look at the new lesson I just finished which is pretty close to John Denver's 'Country Road, Take me Home'. Also, have another look at this lesson which uses the same basic pattern.
I'm also the author of
PlaneTalk - The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book. The
lesson that this book, slide-rule and DVD teach is the
most powerful of all: the 'trick' to seeing the entire fretboard as
friendly, familiar territory. If you're beyond the beginner stage -- you
know your chords, scales, maybe even modes -- but you're still wondering how
to turn it all into music, how to invent and improvise, how to access all the bits and pieces, then this is the
book for you. You will also be able to join the private PlaneTalkers'
Forum and discuss the simple visualization technique with me and many
others. - Read more here .
