Thank you Katie. I'm so thankful to be able to practice the guitar this morning. This is such a dream learning to play music. I've always wanted to learn since I was 5 now I'm 37 and I just started learning the ukulele last year. Music truly is a gift from Yeshua.

What a lovely tutorial on guitar plucking, Katie. Very thoughtfully made and presented.

[davidjermy]

That was great. Think this was the best and simplest method I’ve seen. So many people are put off I believe because tutors tend to make everything complicated.
Many thanks look forward to seeing more of your tutorials. Dave

Sweet!! I;ve graduated from purely chords and now I'm finger picking :) What a fun journey this has been

Hey Katie, just found you.... I look at a Lot of YouTube guitar teachers. I’m 53, I’ve been playing for coming up to 30 years now (with a couple of long breaks in there).
Loved your lesson, great information, easy to follow & a nice, clean, professional look.
The pick pattern TIMI sure is a classic, it put to very good use in a smokey, tropical, acoustic blues called "The Water Lets You In" by Book Of Fears. It’s a simple GCD progression that interestingly stars out on D. It’s a really great song to nail timi down as the changes are easy and far between, it even sounds good with a C add 9, which makes the changes super easy.
Going to subscribe and have a look around your home page, but first a thank you for a fine lesson. Your Karma will be good from these lessons. Bless.

Finally a fingerpicking pattern lesson I can follow. I am a strummer, but want to do more with the guitar. Thank you for offering the online courses. Once my middle and ring finger heal on my right hand, I am going to practice these lessons. Once again, thank you.

Thank you i enjoyed the video, i play mostly heavy metal guitar and have been wanting to learn finger pick style, very nice video taught by a beautiful woman.

Hi Katie, I’ve followed your ukulele instructions for years. I’m MikeinMinnesota and recently I found a used guitar almost identical to the one I played in high school 60 years ago. I couldn’t resist! Like my old guitar it’s a spruce top, Martin copy, acoustic, folk (not Dreadnought) style instrument. Now I have fo follow your guitar lessons as I see if I can pick it up again after all these years. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos. 👨🏻‍🦳🔥🎶 Mike

Thank you I have just started learning the guitar and I have leant some valuable pointers from this lesson.

Great video I really like the simple way you explain the finger picking style thank you for sharing

[elmiguel]

Amazing how you broke it down...you explained what is a root note, and showed on the fret board why it is a C chord on the A string.... it took me some time to figure that out, but you explained it basic simplistic terms and I would have gotten it long ago if I saw your video. You're not assuming it is understood, the mark of a great educator. Thank you for being realistic!

[georgekelly]

Katie, all my guitar playing is self taught. To find some basic videos as your teaching is so refreshing. Finger picking has always been a problem and you have taken the mystery out of it. I only hope others appreciate your efforts and realize even though I have played the guitar for a long time, your never too good or old to learn something new or enhance what you know. Thank you for your time, effort, and teaching in an understanding way. You are appreciated, thank you. G

[divinewhispers-jx]

Thank you for being generous with your time. You broke down the learning process so well!

[davidjenson]

It's interesting to see instruction like this after more than fifty years of finger-style guitar playing. It was a trip back in time. Thanks.

[trishevans]

Thanks for this video. I've been wanting to learn how to pick to find a teach I'd have to travel about 45 to 60 miles one way to find a teacher. I'm going to be watching your videos. I've been playing since January 2021.

[mjbuckley]

Like others are commenting, your teaching style is wonderfully patient and understanding. But I have to add that (between your guitar and your gentle precise picking) you have a beautiful lush tone. I have been listening to this lesson just to hear that wonderful clear acoustic sound.

[PompeyRy]

What a great clear way of explaining things, fantastic!
