Fingerpicking Guitar Lesson With Three Note Chords
Hey there, I�m Tomas Michaud.
In the last lesson, I did a lesson about three note chords and I�ve got enough request
that I�m gonna do a lesson now on the fingerpicking pattern that I did at the end of that lesson,
seems that people really like that so let�s go ahead and do this.
So here�s the basic pattern that were gonna do.
We�re gonna do that just on the D first, here�s one round.
So start with you pinch the two strings together the open D and the high note.
You�re making D chords of course in the left hand then the thumb goes to the third
string so the movement so far is � I�m going pinch, third string with the thumb then
with my second finger heading the top string again so it�s (strumming) okay, I go back
to that base note which is the open D so its baa � third string and then back to the
base note then the second string with the first finger and then the third string again
with the thumb so what�s actually going on here with the thumb is that � I�ll
do it slow, watch.
How did you slow?
It helps me when I concentrate on the base notes, got the finger going crazy there � there.
Now let�s do the three note chords.
I�m not gonna go through the whole lesson again.
You can go back to the lesson before this.
Its D, C, D and then this is a G three note chord and we will just go back down.
Now while I�m doing the fingerpicking the whole time, I�m just using the D base note.
I call it a drone (2:48) go to the C and so on.
Okay so this is the whole pattern (strumming) and I feel this little lick here to make it
more interesting.
So, of course as usual I�ve written that down in tabs and notes on the cheatsheet.
You can get that if you�re on YouTube and get that by going over to my blog and I have
a little download link at the bottom of the blog page.
