Thank you so much for the response. I'm a huge Gordon Lightfoot fan and I've been trying to play the song 'Beautiful ' and ' If You Could Read My Mind' for the longest time. I would bet that you would play these songs so wonderful! My issue is I do not like to use a capo and Gordon Lightfoot uses the Capo a lot.

I was an electric guitar player, and never really mastered the acoustic guitar. Now in the later stages of my life I really like the freedom an acoustic guitar has of not needing a band and a bunch of equipment to enjoy myself and entertain only my sweetheart. This was one song she wanted me to learn. Well, your lesson was a success. I only had trouble changing from the steve chord. Lol.. super cool. Job well done a great lesson for a great song. Also , I like that Taylor nylon string. You make it sound great with your touch. Peace. I

Glad to hear that you’re digging the video. I’ve got more stuff I’m working on that I think you’ll enjoy. Thanks for the props on the Taylor nylon string. It’s a really fun instrument to play.

hallo Rob, I have a question? Thanks for the lesson. I noticed that fingerpicking pattern 2, being at one moment 5 3 1/2 3 5 3 was played by you as 5 3 1/2 3 4 3. What is the correct pattern? in most patterns I have seen, it is the last version as only the 1first played string is changed every time to be the base string. Regards, Roel Haringa
@robsguitarschool Жыл бұрын
Hi Roel, sorry for the delay in my response here. For fingerpicking pattern 2, the 5th note of the pattern will be the same as the first note of the pattern. It is just repeating the bass note here. Example: when playing the Dm chord it will be 4 3 1/2 3 4 3. When playing the Dm/C# chord it will be 5 3 1/2 3 5 3. Hope this clears this up for you. Keep having fun playing guitar. You're doing great! ~ Rob

Hey DeathmentalPvP, that's fine. What I tell students of mine that have this difficulty, is just play a regular Dm instead of a Dm/C#. It will still sound good. In the future, if your pinky strengthens, try the Dm/C# again. You're doing great! ~ Rob

I couldn't do it either. You have to make sure that your fingernails are trimmed all the way down. Second, you want to bring your thumb down on your fret hand, and third, you want to curve your hand towards the nut. I had to figure this all out by myself by trial and error and most of all practice. You also want to use the ends of your fingers more than the meat of your fingers. This will put your hand in more of a position to get your pinky up to the 5th string. I struggled with this but had to figure it out on my own. Now, I can do it. Stay with it.
