I'm laughing as I'm texting this... you said "don't get your fingers stuck", I loved it. I am going to dedicated my learning with you after tonight. Your funny and exciting and make one want to learn. Your qualities are outstanding and your way of coming across to strangers that you can't even see is a form of art... thank you for being you. I don't know you but I love you and your way,i only know one way and that is your art of teaching. Again thank you. And I hope to some day play to you what I've learned from you. Amen...
What a lovely man! I liked the video after one minute just for the positivity of the teacher. The lesson itself was very useful and I am sure I will follow it when I start playing guitar. Thank you so much ♥
Fingetstyle should be the DEFAULT first teaching method. After flat picking for 40 years, I started this and it made ALL of my playing and understanding MUCH BETTER. I can slash, chet, or knopfler ALOT better now. I study Chet Atkins way. It involves a thumb pick to help those bass beats ring out
@@PrantikNath Yessir yep! Although, I think there is a right brain / left brain right hand / left hand excersizing that only Fingerstyle works to improve - just like piano players - that helps all flat picking too
I play this easily because this is how I self taught myself. And it makes playing so much more interesting and fun. The slap technique (percussion) came naturally to me. Everyone's different I guess :)
Well done you, I wish i could say the same but I can't. Keep up the good work. Can you get on touch with me that I can learn a little too....I can't slap the guitar like you girl...😅wish I could. I'd be afraid of break it....x
Same for the most part. Learned guitar from a guy named Elliott Smith. Took his shapes and learned pretty fast. Didn’t learn Travis picking first but a form of it that combines strumming. I play alt-country so I can just “chuck boom” as opposed to slap technique. Another alt picking form I first learned to pick with was this exact same one but hit the bass notec pluck the D,G,B or G,B,E strings then an alt Travis style i between.
You are so lucky to have started without a pick. I can’t seem to let go of my death grip on the pick.. even basic chords that I can do in my sleep befuddle me the second I try to fingerpick the notes! It’s frustrating as hell and one of the primary reasons I no longer play nor even consider myself a guitarist anymore.
You can very often identify a guitarist with a quick glance at their hands, fingernails short as can be on one hand and long shaped nails on the other…so in answer to your question, yes, longer nails can indeed help with fingerpicking ✌🏻🤓
I miss Nate. Funny that you guys rebranded almost the same color as his new channel. It's bad enough to kick him off, but also trying to bury him under your own brand.

i teach both at first. so beginner can decide what suits better for them. and u need to know both basically.
@@PrantikNath Yessir yep! Although, I think there is a right brain / left brain right hand / left hand excersizing that only Fingerstyle works to improve - just like piano players - that helps all flat picking too
@@budsodalsky there's lots of left hand right hand/brain exercise for flat / alternate picking as well.
Can't go wrong with Chet. 👍
Thanks. You have have a good way of explaining to a beginner guitar player like me.

Great lesson thank you!!!👏🏼❤️
This video has useful info on guitar playing techniques that many players should consider trying out at least. Thanks for the video.
Like the Jim ‘n Jack too. Thanks!
When I heard it I thought of the intro to The Lion Sleeps Tonight. The "Wimoweh" part.
@@blardosplats yeah, that works doesn’t it?
Love this I am practicing with you. I need to learn this. 😩
Great lesson 🎸🎸🎸
Very informative man! Thank you for sharing

God bless your work
I love this lesson. Thanks you

Great lesson with a lot of usable content!
Excellent. Thank you
The first strum with the slap sounded like John Lennon's strum on Stand by Me
Intelligent teacher
This is very good.

Light a Fire Jim Morrison yeah Great song and Great Finger style performance too
I’m pretty sure Brent Cobb uses a similar style in his song “Keep ‘em on their toes.” I think he uses it and plucks individual strings as well tho.
Good explanation
Nice lesson. Are longer fingernails helpful or necessary on the picking hand, or a hinderance with this style?

King of finger style are (alip_ba_ta) king of harmonic mind blowing..no body in this world is better than alip_ba_ta..you will smash your guitar..

Great lesson. But... what's up with the goofy background. Pseudo living room set up. Cheezy. 😅
Postman Pat
Did you buy your Dad a new guitar later in life?

I'm not religious...
Not.
Your very noisy. Let the guitar talk not your mouth lol!
