Finger style basics

keeplearning · #1 November 19th, 2008

I've been away from this for awhile but glad to be back. I have a dial-up connection so many views are really slow.

The question I have is that I'm trying to learn Doc Watson's "Precious Lord Take My Hand" but I can't seem to get the correct method. Any help or comments?

Thanks

keeplearning,
Nice to see you in the chat room. I downloaded the file and will play along to it, then send it to you in your email. If you want a good start in finger picking try this. Travis Picking Lesson

I cant teach you via email, but maybe give you some idea. One thing for sure Chord Tones is where it starts. Kirk has some great lessons on that have some great pickin going on here os one Rootsy Pickin'
