Thank you! I can play the first measure OR I can play the second measure, but was having trouble remembering them both.

[@gregallenphoto]

Thank you Thank you Thank you. Simple, straight forward, no mindless chatter AND you even show the notes!

[@AlLewisJr]

As a beginning guitarist, this is great stuff. I watch these videos daily.

[@kicik5038]

Finally an expert that understands how a beginner feels! Easy to understand and helpful tips along the way. Thank you

[@davehyper7835]

This is without doubt the best fingerpicking pattern tutorial out there. Thanks for sharing this, now time to practice....

[@Hun_Uinaq]

My very dear sir, I have been teaching adults now for a long time and I must say that I really think you’re an awesome teacher. Keep up the great work. I learned a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us all.

[@charliewest1221]

What enhances your lesson (here and in the others) is your constant emphasis on going over the exercise/s real "slowly"; a fundamental teaching technique.

[@cherijb2]

Charlie West Thanks so much for the lesson! That was very helpful, but sometimes I need you to go even slower.

[@irenemurray4581]

Very easy to understand and descriptions are very clear. Love it

[@sorenahlback]

I like the third style most, especially over the sevens. Sounds cool.

[@erniecheung5282]

Extremely helpful! Thanks for clear and precise instructions. You are the best!

[@lindathompson195]

Thank you I didn’t realize it was ok to use index and middle on 1st and 2nd string

[@JulianHensey]

After looking at many finger style sites/videos, this is the one, and only one, to get me started and make me believe it is possible! Thank you so very much Andy

[@t4texastom587]

WoW.... great tutorial! Thanks, Nate.

Rolling up, then down, i have to get that down pat first, then i can think about the other ones! Thank you Nate!

[@SixstringLately]

Great lesson. I’m just starting to try fingerstyle playing. Thank you.

[@rajeevkumria]

Brilliant lesson. Kudos

[@nikao7751]

[@cabbagesandkings3652]

love it Nate, really enjoying it, which I guess is what its all about.

[@Mr.Bubbles_360]

thanks so useful

[@sandilandi9801]

I really liked patterns 1 and 2 but 3 made me CRAZY ! Could you please tell us what time signatures these patterns are used for ? Because I think I heard the rolling up and down with a bass note was used for 3/4 times songs like “House of The Rising Sun “ and I’ve learned a couple patterns like the one for “Dust in the Wind “ But I’m not sure how to apply them to different songs or if they are songs with 4/4 timing like the 1st part of pattern 1 = B 321 is for 4/4 songs etc So Great lesson and Thanks ❤️🎸🎶🎯

[@tomsheehy765]

Brilliant, challenging, rewarding, expertly taught ;0)

[@GuitSiva]

Cool dude..👌😊Thanks..🙏🎶🎸

[@anuragsawarkar5229]

thank you for the lesson looking forward for more fingerstyle tutorials

[@Speakthetruth195]

I don't think I've ever seen someone explain as good as you. And the last one is crazy. But challenging

[@laurahenthorne6357]

Best I've heard! Thanks!

[@reamer59]

Nice work :)

[@dakotahstr]

Wow this is great. I'll stick with the first progression till I get it then move on. 😊

[@stevenchou7709]

Thanks. I have a question for you. Your suggested practices (ie. using index finger for 4 string) will mix up my normal way of thumb taking care of 6/5/4 strings and index/middle/ring fingers for 3/2/1 strings respectively. What are your reasons for your suggested finger-picking exercise?

[@graemej2599]

to be versatile -

[@saxxyoboe]

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to pick up guitar again.

[@SophiCee]

Thank you very much, this tutorial has been really helpful!

[@felesamuel3416]

Please can this fingerpicking pattern be use to run scales. Thank you in advance

[@shengsheng5020]

Look so simple but its hard to do it.... you are so good...

[@dylanthomas7443]

Could you repeat 12:00 to 12:45? it is not clear. do I play the 3rd string and 5th together?

[@dmin312]

Very helpful!

[@thesatchelkid]

Great great video. Thank you!

[@mikisdust0]

Thank You Nate! Great Lesson

[@uptopmikep7065]

Nate where on Guitareo are all these lessons located?

[@caffeinatednation8885]

I just realized his speaking pattern is similar to Rami Malek. You're a cool dude! :)

[@MeneDexia]

Great! Thank you !

[@hithere748]

I love playing the guitar. After awhile playing I get mentally tired 😬

[@vanmani7768]

The numbers on the tab confuse the maximum. Please explain if it means the fingers or the strings or the frets.

[@alexischirco]

How are you able to pick at that angle and not get the scratchy sound from your nail? (Mine are very short) Trying to fix the sound before I practice the technique :)

[@iRusiko]

In recent few months I see the face of this person more often than some's close relatives. I think I'm falling in love. So Great Lessons, thank you!

[@kallemannonen]

Why would anyone give this a thumb down ?? Great tuotrial, thanks.

[@Bigtank9401]

Do you have to use the 3 finger technique? Because I normally just use my Thumb and Index Finger(and throw in my middle at times). I find myself playing better playing like that. I was just wondering if the 3 finger technique is that supposed to be the technique to use or can I use the technique I've been using.

[@MusoraOfficial]

Use what works best for you. With more complicated patterns it is nice to have more fingers available, so I would recommend learning to use all 3 and even your pinky at times. :)

[@Bigtank9401]

GuitarLessons.com Thanks, I'll work on it guitarlessons.com

[@andremaharaj567]

|Sir, I am interested in learning fingerstyle playing can you assist me. Thanks Andre

[@amazingkid1382]

You are awesome

[@swikarr4553]

You're the best!

[@justinmorsheim3942]

I am not sure if I understood correctly, first I start out veeery slow with no metronome, then once I got the basic coordination down, I can use the metronome, work them up to speed, right? jk great video

[@jasper_north]

D string thumb also?

[@MusoraOfficial]

Usually.

[@badalsaibo]

Which style would be better, folk or classical?

[@caffeinatednation8885]

Folk. For sure. :)

[@kennymac8949]

Can you do me a favor, find the Colombo episode starring Johnny Cash called Swan Song where he plays an instrumental near the end and show how he pays it.Thanks

[@conantoniojr.5111]

18mins to watch, yet 18 yrs for me to learn it :)

[@TomGoldsmithguitar]

Great work nate!!

[@byromtaylor6482]

i should be good at this with my tiny fingers but just cant co ordinate it at all the minute i start singing it falls apart ...i dont think im ever gunna get it wanna thow guitar in bin

[@manishpanna2568]

Super sir

[@mbs5328]

Eureka!

[@johanventer4284]

Nate, isn’t the first pattern 6/8 time? The up and down roll.

[@MusoraOfficial]

Hey Johan, The way it's presented in the lesson is in 4/4 time. If we played it as you described PIMAMI it could be in 6/8

[@johanventer4284]

Thank you Nate.

[@ckeds]

done

[@Shrimp0kUgel]

Aren't you supposed to use your thumb for EAD and your index, middle and ring finger for GBE respectively?

[@MusoraOfficial]

Most of the time that's what it works out to be.

[@brunolopes7311]

why people never use the pinky ?

[@kizitobemsimbomambe3131]

Do you need to know and master all these patterns?

[@geoffreysoondoimutongo6545]

What? You mean is that simple? Thank you very much

[@tilakraj9348]

R.THILAK RAJ

[@phoebeleenhouwers1681]

[@CreeperKiller420]

[@TheDrumstori]

[@johncaplis2598]

Thank you! Really helped me.
