Many thanks for this lesson Its my ambition to play Diamonds and Rust. Gerry in Ireland

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Rock on!

[@rharan1]

Great instructor! Simple but packed with value with little to no rambling.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Glad you liked it!

[@jpeood32]

I have to add my 2 cents. This seems to be a great warm up for all you right hand, even if you are just a middle or index finger picker. Dexterity is everything and you can see that in classical techniques. It never hurts to have and extra finger hanging around above the strings

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Great point!

[@brianodonnell586]

Many thanks Kevin. Really appreciate your lessons

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome

[@marciahammond9735]

You're a great teacher thank you

[@blueser100]

I agree with Vicky…love fingerstyle. Getting back into it again. Thanks for this. 😊

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome. I am getting into it too :)

[@brendachristopher2693]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I'm a 67 year old beginner.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome! Never too old to learn!

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome! Stay with it, it will come!

That's going straight into my regular practice regime!

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Excellent!

[@dennismullin3052]

Enjoy your Channel. As a retired drummer of 35 yrs. And having taken lessons and given them I’d make one suggestion on the Metronome setting. If you have never fingerpicked before-like me-I would kindly suggest setting the Metronome at 40bpm in 12/8. Keep up the fine work Kevin.🥁🎸👍

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks for your support. And that’s very good advice!

[@juliodefreitas157]

Thank you for sharing your video ❤

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome.

[@RomayPM]

Hi Kevin, Vicky, and Maggie May. I've been subscribed to your channel for a wee while now, and I find your videos so helpful, but for some reason, this one has just come up in my feed. What a fab video. My finger picking leaves a lot to be desired, but this made it so easy. Thank you Kevin, you really do help me with my playing, and I appreciate your videos. They're the best 👌

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Happy to hear this! We appreciate you too!

[@zepp2498]

Beautiful tutorial and explanation. I love fingerstyle. A nice lesson and video: oh, and your voice is great, you shoiuld sing. Big like 425

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thank you so much!!

[@alexanderpamella4909]

Now i found another great lesson thanks and nice familey ❤❤❤ which metronomen you recomend which app you use

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

I use a korg metronome. But any app will do.

[@iemor40]

Great video Kevin , would love for a Dust in the Wind by Kansas finger picking lesson !

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Looking in to this!😋

[@iemor40]

Thanks that would be an awesome lesson and song to learn !

[@juliodefreitas157]

Hello Maggie May. Hi Vicki..Another great lesson ❤

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Love Maggie May shes a sweet girl. Thanks for the cool video.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks. Maggie says “hi” :)

[@jrjr3678]

thank you

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You're welcome

[@michaelblankenstein]

Thanks, Kevin. Did you mention the importance of moving the finger first to the root of the next chord? Very important or you will never do well with finger style.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

I did not. Great tip!

[@billstraka4946]

Very good and thank you.. I'm thinking that timing is 12/8

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are most welcome. And timing would work

[@Ords86]

So when you’re doing the Em, you don’t use any of the fretted strings? You could actually put your left hand in your pocket and play it?

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Lol. You got it :)

[@guylainmayotte]

hello im new just wondering do i need to be a member to get notifications for live shows

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Our live lessons on KZbin are free to all. You just have to sign up with your email. We will be doing another one in the spring.

[@donaldwright5167]

Can you play this with the A and D chords as well?

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Yes. A would be a 5ths string root and the D is a 4th string root.

[@davidspencer2333]

Great job Kevin. Yours is not exactly the same, but it reminded me of REM's Everybody Hurts intro. Have you done any REM lessons yet?

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

R.E.M. is one of my favorites! and this is a pattern you can use for that great song. Find the lesson here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGewoIKMm5efiLM

[@dougheckler2398]

Great lesson! What kind of for dog is Maggie Mae?

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks!! DNA said she was part German Shepard and chihuahua amongst others LOL

[@alexanderpamella4909]

Hey kevin do have any song with this fingerpicking

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

I think a couple of these do kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5CreaGJqr11Z80

[@alexanderpamella4909]

Thank u ❤️🙏🏻

[@felixuscinewicz4660]

Hi Kiv. You seem to play at the same bpm. Can you tell us what it is. Thank you.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

For this lesson it is 65 toward the end of the video when I’m using the metronome.

[@divitdhami5822]

Can u plssss make a vid on bar chords

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

On the list :)

[@divitdhami5822]

@@Relaxandlearnguitar thank you sooo much😊

[@dougrowell7817]

Hi Vicki

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Vic says hi back :)

[@andrewgoodway9243]

Why do you play e minor none of the strings are involved are they?

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Correct. But unlike greeting it anyway as it is part of the chord progression.

[@guylainmayotte]

bybthe way im guy from north ontario canada

[@jal3961]

What do i need to do my pluck ,, u can hardly hear. Lol

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

try plucking a little harder, or maybe using a thumb pick/growing out your nails a bit.

[@felixuscinewicz4660]

Hi Kev. I meant on your strumming in general. Not fingerstyle.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Ohhhh. I would say about 70 bpm is my usual speed
