Time to Practice The Entire Fingerpicking Exercise

Now that you are prepared properly it’s time to play the entire exercise.

I recommend playing the exercise several times through before trying it along with the video. It does help to watch the video first so you have a good mental image of what you’re trying to do.

  • Placed your fingers in the proper right hand position and your left hand on the C chord. Play two fingerpicking patterns on the C chord. Switch to the G chord and play two fingerpicking patterns.
  • Repeat C to G.
  • Next move the left hand to finger the D minor chord. Place the fingers in position and play two fingerpicking patterns using the D minor chord. Now switch to the G chord and play two fingerpicking patterns.
  • Repeat D minor to G.
  • Go back to the beginning and repeat the entire process.
