Brilliant definition, from the most basic to the most specific. And with examples for each it's very easy to grasp this concept! Great work, please keep it up!

Glad to shed some light on the wonderfully diverse world of fingerstyle guitar! Are you a fingerstyle guitarist yourself?

[@MoviesHD.3811]

​@@neilchanmusicI conside myself one, though i may not have many techniques i play pretty fluid, i'm starting at percussion technique and now i dominate slap technique, but i'm having problems with tapping, do you have an tutorial about it?

[@neilchanmusic]

i do have a video on tapping, it's one of my more popular ones on my channel!@@MoviesHD.3811

@@neilchanmusic I'm watching it, thank you so much for that video! Also on how to arrange fingerstyle, i'm adapting songs to guitar by ear and i'm gonna try to make them fingerstyle.

You're most welcome! Keep up the good work and enjoy arranging fingerstyle guitar songs :) @@MoviesHD.3811

Bro you explained so complex topic so simply. That was really unexpected.

[@neilchanmusic]

Happy to share it with you :D After years of practicing fingerstyle guitar, it just becomes clearer to me what the genre is all about

[@myyoutube7144]

To me it's playing multiple components of a song on one instrument. So guitar, vocals, bass, whatever all at once.

[@neilchanmusic]

Yes that's one of the hallmark characteristics of fingerstyle guitar!

Why can't i get that strong and snappy sound? 😂

[@ichimarugin3352]

probably the type of guitar itself is more important i think.. like some newbie wants to learn classical & then bought a dreadnought 😅

[@michaelchecco8745]

Highly disagree. Scales, keys, modes, and techniques define a genre. Not necessarily equipment, although it does play a large part

There is no such thing as finger-style guitar. There is finger-picking, which is picking the strings with your fingers, p, I, m, a, and not strumming or using a pick.
