[@diamondminer9263]

Never too old to learn something new - great lesson -I'll be back for more!

[@markk8975]

Great lesson. If I may offer some advice for anyone new to fingerstyle, start by focusing on conquering your thumb. Spend a few days or weeks just focusing on getting to where you can thumb the root and next lowest note of any chord without thinking about it. Once you have mastered the thumb the rest will fall into place with amazing ease. It takes some time and patience but is well worth it.

[@christystock2734]

Definitely go “Pro”. I am 65 and so wish we had access to something like this when I was growing up. Little town I grew up in had one old guitar teacher and I wouldn’t take lessons.

[@patrickian8843]

Amen to that! I just turned 65 and remember when we only had books to learn from (VHS tapes hadn’t been invented yet) and, guitar teachers were too expensive. My dad would however, pay for Clarinet lessons…he was a “Big Band” junky.

[@deadmanswife3625]

@@patrickian8843 love my clarinet

[@spencerbutler8872]

Got to learn that amazing floyd

[@dakotahstr]

i think the problem I was having for so long was getting discouraged and I set the guitar down and didnt touch it. Now I love this video. You explain things and take your time with us. I like the pdf going to practice and take my time.! Thanks a lot ..Heather.

[@RealThunderberg]

Thank you so much for the PDF and for the short video I saw before this one. I watched a short finger picking one, and it was most helpful!

[@patriciam5374]

[@michaelkern3667]

Im curious about the speed at what the younger generation learn guitar having the influence of gaming on consoles, using multiple fingers to fulfill a given outcome. Any observations here from you as a teacher?

[@yourguitarsage]

They are standing on the shoulders of Giants. I’m sure there could be some amount of DNA that’s passed through, but when you start off learning eruption instead of smoke on the water, the better players are going to be better.

[@christystock2734]

Any suggestions for which style fingerpicking for Worship songs?

[@Mudheron]

Thank you.

[@NeilSullivanMaui]

Use Peroxide and a toothbrush on your finger and toenails once a weel keeps away the fungus away and bleaches the yellow out of them.

[@yourguitarsage]

[@gordonbezanson4710]

I use my baby finger as an anchor and rarely pick with it.

[@smritam]

I've been strumming for quiet a while but confused about what sound I need to match.

[@MrDoneboy]

Songwriting is a WHOLE different art, than guitar playing. To do both well, then you need to know how to do both well!

[@johncollins8702]

is there a time span for practice i mean 5 mins or 15 mins

[@yourguitarsage]

It depends how good you want to be. Mediocre practice time will equate to a mediocre player. Exceptional practice time will create an exceptional player.

[@johncollins8702]

Get synthetic nails if you want but be aware that they can damage your nails depending on the technique and chemicals used. I speak from painful experience.😞
