TECHNIQUE CHECK...

Get your fingers in prime position to make those fingerstyle passages easier

1 FINGER POSITION

Angle your hand with your thumb pointing to the fretboard and your fingers closer to the bridge, so they won’t collide with each other as you pluck the strings.

2 FINGER PICKING CHORDS

To play chords, use a ‘pinching’ motion (your thumb moves downwards; your fingers go up) with one finger on each string, plucking all the notes at once.
