    6/29/23 update!
    I can't believe this little video is still going and GOING! Guys, thanks for watching - it means a lot. I've 500+ videos but this was one of the first and I didn't even originally make it for UA-cam. I know it looks like it was made in 1984 instead of 2012, believe me. But the content is still very cool.
    Please join me on Saturdays at 5pm ET for my free UA-cam Guitar Q+A livestream. Just text your questions about learning the guitar and I'll answer as many as I can in about 2 hours. If you can't make it on Saturdays, the livestreams are available to watch afterwards and soon I'll be making them into podcasts as well. I look forward to your questions!
    And if you're serious about getting better at the guitar, check out my website www.song-bike.com. Lots of great content and PDFs - stuff NOT AVAILABLE on UA-cam.
    I do online lessons too. Email me : info@song-bike.com
    This Beginner Finger-Picking video introduces an easy, useful pattern that professional guitarists and songwriters use frequently. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac is a great example! Here's a plan: 1) Memorize The Pattern; 2) Play It Slowly, watching your right-hand fingers carefully; 3) Gradually pick up speed while keeping your fingers relaxed (this is important!!) Lastly, judge your progress in terms of weeks, not days. Playing anything well on the guitar requires a LOT of repetition, more than you'd think, more than you'd prefer !! Stick with it! It's worth it and you can do it !

I just turned 70 and have a similar story to you, I also learned a few chords at the age of 14 but never kept it up, even though I've had guitars in and out of my life over the years but I could never apply myself and I've always wanted to learn finger picking because I'm bored with strumming and the style of music I always used to play, which was pop/rock... I hope you've got a success story to share with us... I guess it's never too late to learn...

    Johnathan, I am 72 and I also never learned to finger pick, but found your lesson easy to follow and I will practice the pattern you demonstrated. I believe the fingers are known as P (thumb) l (1st finger) M (middle finger) and A (ring finger). I am sure that you have heard many times that you are an excellent guitar teacher and I thank you for your excellent lesson.

I'm an average guitar player, and am still learning. I can finger pick a little, but self taught, and developed some bad habits and muscle memory. I hope with your help I can become a better player. I know from experience, it takes lots of practice and patience. I'm going to try to stay with this. There's nothing more beautiful than a good finger picked tune! Thanks for your efforts!

      @@faustorossi5524 Using this picking pattern, we won't use the the first string. But if you change to a D chord, you could move the pattern to 4-2-3-1.

Once I get it thru my thick head a few times it gets easier to practice. I love learning the blues licks. Great teacher.

    Jonathan,
    Thank you so much for such a informative video lesson. I am 48 years old and started guitar a few months ago. While enjoying playing chords and following my Scott Tennant and Hal Leonard books I try and break the lessons up with some songs. My first search this morning brought up this video and It is wonderful. It adds to my current lessons and opens up so many new doors to music. I picked it up pretty quick and this lesson parallels the two paths of study I use. Beautiful music made easy. I honestly feel like a new door was opened.
    Thanks again!!
