Absolute Beginner-finger picking

I'm just starting out and am interested in learning finger picking (correctly right off the bat) since I have absolutely no sense of rhythm and would be useless as an accompanist/strummer. How many fingers are actually used on the right hand and what kind of string assignments per finger are usually used? Thanks for the help.

Hi RB-

I have a whole tutorial called "Intro to Acoustic Fingerpicking" that should help get you on the right path. I am in the process of revamping and upgrading this whole series, but meanwhile this link should help get you started.

here's the link: http://www.guitartricks.com/lesson.php?input=10238

Keep us posted, and good luck!
