Intro To Finger Picking

Description

Now that we've explored the basic mechanics behind fingerpicking, let's piece together your first finger picking pattern.

For the sake of convenience we won't actually hold down a chord in our right hand. Instead we'll keep our pattern to the low E-string (played with your thumb), and the top 3 strings, with a dedicated finger to each of them. Those strings form an E minor chord without any fretted notes, so that's where we'll start.
