hey how are we going i'm still here still learning guitar uh this time using justin guitar to
try and improve my finger style which is something that these days in the past couple
of weeks maybe i've spent the most time doing love chords uh probably more leaning towards
liking sort of the rhythm guitar chord playing style of things but also finger
style i guess pops up in that world as well so got to improve at it um so i've just been
up to this point on justin guitar here um i'm gonna start learning some finger style patterns
uh and well let's not muck around let's get into it let's start on really slow just to be safe
this one's actually one i'm really familiar with so hopefully i can
all right there wasn't this one wasn't really ringing out all that well
maybe it was and i just can't hear it because of the headphones um but that's sort of my favorite
one at the moment oh how do i not have to complete exercise anyway let's start this one really slow
all right i think this one's gonna be easy as well let's just go normal tempo
all right success so far it's been pretty rocky if i'm honest with you i was sort of expecting
to breeze through these but um let's just go really slow on this one see what we're doing
all right again it seems pretty
straightforward
all right good going there all right now for my final trick i'm going to actually try to play
a song fingerstyle which i haven't really done i might have dabbled with one or two but it's a
little bit confusing and i might be confused just by looking at it here but um i simply googled easy
guitar finger finger style songs and i found this great article by the guitar journal some great
options here to play um well i mean for example ain't no sunshine love that tune uh blackbird by
the beatles love kansas not sure what that song is but i ended up going with um good riddance
by green day because that's got a really iconic sort of finger style at the start so conveniently
i've already got the ultimate guitar app um and i've got it up right here uh so let's have a look
at how we play this and uh just as a refresher all right i get the general gist of the the flow now
um now mind my fingers i'm just going to try to put them on the right uh right uh bloody
strings here um i may have to have them in a different position but we'll just go like this so
okay okay hang on oh i think i heard it there
um hang on that should be further down should it
okay is this my bottom finger um hair there all right
all right hang on i think i can hear the
magic
all right that part i think i've got the hang of um cool uh
okay so then it's um let's have a look here again
then
and then it's back to that
okay if i can get this first little bit right i think that i might actually
cover the whole song okay it does so i need to be able to repeat these four bits here
and i'll be able to do the finger style all right so it's
ah anyway i might leave it there for today and i'll come back to that song when i've
can properly do it um there might have been something wrong with my key or my tuning there
i'm not sure didn't sound quite right although the vibe was there but either way cool
interesting to see how to play those finger style songs more or less
and yeah i guess that's something i'll keep working on uh in the next couple of
weeks or so all right thanks so much for coming along thanks for putting up with my uh really
awkward strumming and uh picking today but uh appreciate your time catch you later
