Just dropped in on this site and found it pretty interesting. I have been playing 45 years off and on. More on the off side. I get bored with playing same stuff. I decided to give finger picking a try, it seems to add a spark to my practice the last couple of days. For the people who have been on here for some time maybe they can lead the way for me . I am brand new to finger picking and I would prefer to use 4 fingers as I am just learning I want to get it right, So that would be thumb, index, middle and ring finger. I have seen some people anchor their pinky but I have read this is not a good way to start. I am looking for some input on this. My latest toy is a Taylor 710ce and I just love the guitar, I have a few electrics, I should say too many, Still have my 1963 Fender Jag my dad bought me when I graduated grammer school. That would be my sentimental piece. Enough said hoping to hear from some people and thanks for listening, pete
