Fingerpicking Guitar Made Easy

The first fingerpicking song I learned was Blackbird by the Beatles, as I'm sure it was for many guitar players. The technique in that tune can be interpreted a few different ways, which I'll demonstrate. No matter which style you prefer, each of these fingerpicking movements will be valuable assets to your guitar playing tool belt. The key to syncing up your fingers is to start slowly, and break the notes of the pattern into pieces. Put the pieces together as you master them, and you'll be singing in the dead of night in no time.
