Fingerpicking and Chord Shapes

This lesson focuses on developing your fingerpicking technique and understanding basic chord shapes. We will explore major and minor triads (1-3-5 chords) which are fundamental building blocks in music theory.

Fingerpicking Technique

We'll cover essential fingerpicking patterns, focusing on accuracy and coordination between your picking hand fingers (thumb, index, middle, and ring). Practice will be key to developing speed and fluidity.

Chord Shapes

You'll learn how to form major and minor triads using common chord shapes on the guitar fretboard. We will explore different positions for these chords to expand your range and versatility.

Putting it Together

Once you've mastered the individual techniques, we'll combine fingerpicking patterns with the chord shapes to create simple but effective musical phrases. This will help you build a strong foundation for more complex guitar playing.

This lesson is suitable for beginners and those looking to improve their basic guitar skills. Downloadable guitar charts are available to aid your practice.
