What is the best way to determine what fingerpicking pattern to use when it comes to playing arpeggios? I'm not sure where to find my answer in the fingerpicking videos in Acoustic 1.

I love fingerstyle guitar, but I prefer playing arpeggio patterns as opposed to a chord melody (is that the right term?) style where your fingers have to move all over the place. I like to stay planted and just concentrate on a pattern.

I'm thinking you might look at the time signature to determine how many beats/strings to play?

Any info or pointing in the right direction would be helpful, thanks!
