FingerstyleGuitarLessons-2 Picks Up Where #1 Stopped

Number 2 in this series of free online guitar lessons picks up where Lesson 1 stopped. If you missed Lesson 1, you should check out it's acoustic guitar tab, before continuing these free online guitar lessons.

This lesson uses the guitar chords that you've already learned. But instead of plucking with fingers 1 and 2 at the same time, we'll use them independently of each other.

We'll still be using the same 12 bar blues pattern as lesson 1. The only thing that changes is the right hand. The right hand uses a pattern of Thumb, 1st finger, second finger.

Here are some things to think of as you practice:

• Play all of the notes at the same volume
• Brush your finger across the string. Don't pull the string away from the guitar and let it pop back ( unless you want that sound )
• Point your right hand fingers away from your body. Use the left side of your fingers to play with
• Try a thumbpick
• Don't press down too hard or too light with your left hand. You want to use only enough pressure to get the job done
• Make sure your guitar's in tune. It will sound better
