Use finger picks or grow nails on your picking hand.Clue to good fingerpicking is to make the thumb play independently from the other fingers.The thumb should play the groove (the bass-notes) and the other fingers the rythm and melody part.Grab the A chord,and then train the thumb to hit the 5th and 6th string as rythm,and then try to improvise with the other fingers and find a cool pattern.Practice this for >10min and then change chord and apply the same pattern again.Practice >15 min every day
i love it. i've been playing this song since it came out in 1963, and have really been getting down the way it was originally played on the Freewheelin recording in the past couple of years thanks to some people on You Tube. Your version has the spirit of the original picking style (Bruce Langhorn?), but it's your own signature sound cover, and a really artful one, original and beautiful and soulful, really nice experience, thanks
God man...you are truly amazing!!! I can't stop listening to your vid...it inspires me to want to learn this song...i've been meaning to for a long time. Thank you, man! Rock on!
Thanks a lot for your nice comments! Pick up your guitar and start playing. Once you have the approximate picking pattern on the first chord (C), then start to move around the chords in the song with the approx same picking pattern. Thanks for listening. I'll try to upload more soon. Cheers§
That's finger pickin good/great. Different league altogether. You didn't sell anything at the crossroads I hope. LOL at "slower lesson" request below. Like asking Van Gogh to do the painting again, only slower this time.
All of your practice paid off, it sounds awesome. I liked how you played C7.

After trying to learn this song I've realised how poor my fingerpicking is. Would you have any tips on how to improve it?

Do you have tabs for this? You play it so fast and other tabs I've found don't have some of the embellishments you've put in there.
