Kansas Dust In The Wind Guitar Lesson + Tutorial
After coaching thousands of students on how to get started playing fingerstyle guitar, I have found that there are a few common challenges and frustrations with getting started playing without a pick.
Challenge #1: How do I achieve thumb and finger independence?
Challenge #2: What are the essential picking patterns to learn as there must be dozens? Which ones do I need to know to play songs, and how do I play them as the chords change?
Challenge #3: How do I get FAST RESULTS?
Well if you've always wanted to play fingerstyle guitar, but you're not sure where to start what I would recommend is beginning with a simple fingerpicking pattern. This will help jumpstart your fingerpicking hand and immediately start getting you going in this style.
In this video you'll learn a classic fingerstyle tune that uses primarily one little fingerpicking pattern throughout the whole song. Now if you are a total beginner I only want you to learn the first two beats of this on a C chord and practice that for a little bit. It's a great fingerpicking exercise!
I'll explain which part that is in the video, and for more advanced players, I'll also detail out how to play the rest of the tune that all builds off that first little two-beat pattern.
