Fingerpick ANY Song (2 Easy Techniques)

There are a lot of really great songs in the world. Wouldn't it be great if you could fingerpick them?

In this video, I reveal 2 fingerpicking techniques that work on LITERALLY any song in standard 4/4 time (which is like 95% of songs).

Thanks @Eran55 for your request to teach fingerpicking. I will absolutely be teaching more, because I love to fingerpick!

If you have any requests, leave a comment and I'll make a video answering your question or just respond to your comment in a helpful way :)

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this very un-intimidating way to teach finger picking basics. You gave us the building blocks, which is what ever player needs. Sky’s the limit from here!!

Damn Bruh I've been so comfortable with the finger picking repertoire I have, not knowing there's so much more finger picking techniques to explore. Can't wait to learn this and impress the girls😎

I'm getting ready to buy a Yamaha F3, one of the guitars used at Woodstock. Eager to try this technique on it 🎶

I think you need to clarify which strings the fingers are playing. Thumb plays/varies with the base, but index stays with the G string, middle with the B & ring with the high e.

Great lesson. Just need to figure out the chord progression

[jonathanyates]

Hey there Delilah is another example of a popular song that uses the first finger picking pattern

[aaronallen]

I'll thanks you now. Who bow dat!

Ok it was hard to see but when the thumb moves up to the lower bass note do the other 3 fingers move up as well or do they still play the same 3 strings regardless of what the thumb does? Advice would be much appreciated. Amazing video lesson btw I subscribed instantly I like your style of teaching.

Hello sir I am your fan and I request to you from my hard can you gave way of your guiters

[wsavage]

That song Hard to say I’m sorry is a difficult one.

Hey Kyle, I’ve developed a hybrid finger style / strum technique similar to Ed. I never use a pick even though I’m told I should. Could you help break down his style? Especially the upbeat songs he does live? Thanks

I sadly only learned using two fingers, I wish I would have started out learning all four or five. Maybe not to late.
