Guitar playing
I am going to touch very lightly on finger picking (Guitar playing). The first thing that I am going to tell you is you are going to use the fingers of the right hand. This is without any pick and your are going to use using your thumb, your index finger and your middle finger (Guitar playing).
Now, how will this work? We are going to use the chord, same chord as we did on the last one. That is (Guitar demonstration) okay. Now, what we are going to play – our thumb is going to be playing the 5th string and then our index finger will play the 3rd string. Our middle finger will play the second string (Guitar playing) and then, once again, our index finger will play the 3rd string.
Our middle finger will play the 2nd string and then, once again, our index finger will play the 3rd string (Guitar demonstration) (Guitar playing). See how that works? We are going to loop that. When we move to the G and B chord, same strings, 5th string with the thumb, 3rd string with the index, 2nd string with the middle, 3rd string with the index (Guitar playing).
A minor same strings (Guitar playing) and finally, the G chord, the only difference is, we are going to start with the thumb on the 6th string (Guitar playing) and still (Guitar demonstration). So, let me do this slower one time, so you can hear it and then I will do it a little bit quicker (Guitar playing). Now we find an end chord, which will use a C for. And here is a little bit quicker (Guitar playing)
