FREE Fingerstyle Intro Lesson

FINGERSTYLE REQUEST? I gotcha covered...with a Baker's Dozen! 

Explanatory text is below the following video.

The following is hardly our usual methodical approach (and similarly, is not an exhaustive list of fingerstyle techniques or concepts). At SDML Academy of Guitar we certainly have a framework for fingerstyle playing, and as I write these words, we're also working on a video lesson series.

In addition, I'm currently shooting a short (less in-depth, but extremely challenging) video series for my Patreon Page.

But this introduction is sort of the "old school" approach, if you will. That is, just jump in and "do this"!

Sooo...let's jump in.

The below video is under 12 minutes long, calling by string numbers (low E is string SIX, high E is string ONE), and the patterns are as follows:

1) 5 - 2

2) 5 - 2 - 4 - 3 

3) 5 - 3 - 4 - 2 

4) 5 - 2 - 4 - 3 ***

5) 5 - 3 - 4 - 2 ***

6) 5 - 2 - 3 

7) 5 - 3 - 2 

8) 5 - 2 - 4 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 4 - 2

9) 5 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 5 - 4 - 5 - 3 

10) 5 - 4 

11) 5 - 4 - 3 - 4

12) 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 3 - 4 

13) 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 

That should get you started!!!

If you're interested in more fingerstyle (from patterned approaches to Travis Picking to tremolo picking to independent melody lines to "dead thumb" and more), stay tuned for both the short series on my Patreon Page and the more comprehensive series at the SDML website!
