    A message to everyone watching this and struggling to play: Keep going! I first watched this about a year and half ago and I was baffled, wondering how I would ever manage this, but if you keep practising it will eventually come to you and you'll be able to fingerpick alternating bass patterns on any song and sound like a pro. This is a really excellent introduction to this, good luck!

    I love how you're a finger picker who doesn't grow the nails long on your picking hand. I've been playing for a very long time and prefer to feel the strings on my fingertips, rather than using a nail. And it sounds so smooth!

    • @timothycirylhuntingtoniii3898
      @timothycirylhuntingtoniii3898 7 років тому +3

      Yea I'm the same! Finger nails can sound like uncontrollable picks sometimes. Skin on string, I just love the tone.

    • @beholden_to_ducks
      @beholden_to_ducks 7 років тому +2

      I play with no nails too...I really like the tone of paying with the nail but the feeling of the string piling against my nail is just really weird.

    • @augustorohden7404
      @augustorohden7404 7 років тому +3

      The deal is, you can't fingerpick fast if you use your fingertips, it's okay for blues, but not for classical guitar

    • @marcoferrao
      @marcoferrao 7 років тому +2

      I like the crispy sound the nails make. Coming from the bass guitar to the accoustic guitar my nails were always short, but after some classical guitar lessons I let them grow and fell in love with it. Also I agree with the guy who says you can´t play fast and also loose some precision with no nails. But like you said, it sounds smooth.

And just because I can Travis pick, doesn't mean that I could get the intricate timing down. You saved me a lot of frustration. I thank you a lot and I'll definitely be in touch. Have a great holiday.

    In answer to Pelu Maad's question, "Delta-Texas Blues? What delta is that?". What I was referring to was the style of blues. There are basically two styles of fingerpicking: the eastern and the western. The eastern is called Piedmont or ragtime blues, as I am sure you know already. The western style is seen in abundance from Mississippi on west through Texas, uses a monotonic bass and is more linear. Sure the Texas stylists tended to improvise a bit more than the Mississippi stylists, and of course there are individual differences between artists. But those are the two main styles. So what I was referring to in the Delta-Texas blues was the western style.
