My guitar teacher has recently introduced fingerpicking/fingerstyle guitar into my lessons to add more variety to the usual strum-a-long. There isn't a great deal I can say about it yet as i am still trying to make my fingers work as they should, but once fluidity comes it should start to sound pretty decent.
My biggest issue with it at the moment and is more noticeable when attempting fingerstyle is how scratchy the chord changes sound when i am sliding up a few frets with the same chord shape, i assume i just need to fully lift off from one to another, and make that lift off-move-put down fast enough to keep up with the feel of whatever I am playing? I will ask that this at this weeks lesson and see what he says.
Last week I was shown how to play Charlie Simpson's song Down Down Down, which we played 99% of fingerstyle with the crashing ending strummed out. I have been trying to nail the intro for the last few days, but practicing time hasn't been available this week, such is life, so it's been a lot of this....
In a moment of dreaming this afternoon, i stumbled onto this which made me want to really improve my fingerstyle guitar playing, this guy is awesome!!
