Folk Fingerstyle Patterns #1of2 (Folk Guitar Lesson FO-101) How to play

[dave1233345]

am i okay using my little finger on the bottom string?

[trevormac77]

I see one of your hobbies is Wing Tsun Kung Fu, cool man. Vancouver is fortunate enough to have an instructor from Germany.  I hope the hobby doesn't endanger your fingers :)

[ShadowZeus55555]

I did not know there was a tab lol

[Jesszenn]

until I saw his fingernails

[Jesszenn]

man, he's handsome

[anh1giangceo]

he's handsome ^^

[JohnDunbarScotland]

Just found out about this man and these lessons.......Wonderful wonderful stuff !

Thanks Justin

[meanmrmusted88]

its ok to use the flesh of your fingers? even if your on steel string?

[ifyouseeryan]

On the site you say: "When you feel ready a great chord progression to work on is: C G Am F, each chord being played for one or two bars." ...How do we know about Am and F, which strings to pluck ect? The website/video only covers C and G. Anyone?

[BiggusHansin]

@ifyouseeryan Am and C uses the same pickingpattern , so does the F and G chords

[Arrivald]

Wow, fingerstyle really enriches the sound, too bad I started to use it so late. Thanks, Justin!

[doghousejt]

thanks justin ,i`m 63 and intermediate old school rock player you have inspired me to explore and try different things. wish i would have had this technoligy when i was young.

[downhill240]

YOu are an excellent teacher. Thanks for your work!!

[MSimp2k6]

Very easy to follow -- cheers.

[Generaleenutts]

Why do ppl dislike Justins videos, they are so easy to follow and his teaching method so relaxed. If it was not for Justin I'd still be just plucking about on the guitar making a noise...well done Justin, another great video, just got to get to that stage...can't wait

[urbantricker]

sounds just like dashboard confessional

[RANGERVETBRET]

just decided yesterday 2 move in to finger style and you send out this vid...hummmmmm maybe you are a mind reader ,as well as a great instructor. YOU ARE THE MAN

[awma1975]

Thanks a lot Justin, great job!

[riffdex69]

I know all this stuff.. but cool accent..

[themachinist1000]

Justin - Thanks so much for doing this module. As a "Folky Fingerstyler" myself I think you're doing a really fantastic thing by teaching and introducing a vast amount of people to these approaches; Approaches, I feel, that are slightly neglected whilst they champion the steel string guitar as an instrument so much!

[rhapsodyffm]

Does someone know some songs which are using some kind of patterns like this one or rather pop-songs that are using folk-guitar?

[796slash]

Can u give some tough exercises , justin!!

[verandahs01]

thanks mate, love fingerpicking, just ordered the DVD, hope im not to late for a copy of your CD

[JustinSandercoe]

@verandahs01 you should be fine I think there are couple of hundred copies to give away! :)

[TheDoobiesnatcher]

Brilliant will be practising them whilst watching telly to get my fingers on automatic.

[armanrei]

The progression at 15:05 is the axis of awesome progression in C, no?

[tybirk]

@armanrei indeed it is

[armanrei]

@tybirk Cool, I love that progression :D

[thatfilipinodude]

I'm sorry, but I can't seem to find FO in the lesson index on your website... O.o

[JustinSandercoe]

@thatfilipinodude pants!! you are right - Ill do it right now. doh!

[Warneford69]

I would suggest that you wear your ring on the ring (annular) finger instead of the medio to save confusion - brilliant lessons, thanks.

[nickdcc]

Justin, please explain the finger pattern from Elliott Smith' Angeles!!

[IL0veMyGuitar]

I don't know how you do it, but you somehow manage to keep me motivated to practice more and more. The only problem is: there is soooooo much content, can't decide what to try first :D

New intro looks sssslick btw. Keep it up!

[PowerThirteen]

I've been wishing for a series of videos like this since TE-021/22! They pretty much changed the way I play guitar. Thanks :D

[datsun370z]

i really enjoy how you teach,thnx

[MrDomguitar]

the first pattern is like under the bridge by rhcp

[AniodD]

New intro screen yey!

[MelleB90]

For everyone who wants some good folk songs to practice, check out The Tallest Man On Earth.

[Greendaydx]

what kind of maton is that?

[avemnevoiesideiarba]

what guitar is that



[toddandhisdog]

II can't thank you enough for sharing this. It is about time that I put down the pick and let my skills grow. You are as talented teacher as you are a guitarist. Cheers Justin. I will keep this with me for the rest of my life.

[MClown69]

sounds like eddie vedder into the wild type song at the beginning

[ceddy1968]

Nice looking Video Justin, well done.

[aldobu1990]

Justin what brand is this guitar? and where i can get it>?

[telus82]

Awesome Lesson!!!

Could you please to Classical Gas? Thanks!!

[Bluebuthappy182]

I remember getting these finger style patters years ago in a small little book and tape (it actually was a casette tape) and i must have done something right because they stuck and I can tell you if you get them down they are GOLD. They've made me sound like i know what i'm doing for years :-)

[Oni64]

good lesson, slow practices will help, its all down to the timing.

[goodrich777]

great lesson. really appreciate you taking the time to pass your knowledge on to the rest of us in such an accessible style. cheers

[TheSteezyCheese]

HERO

[Lazzle22]

"Hi, hey you doing?!"

[LosTroopos]

Great lesson again. Regarding the D-chord. Im used to play the D as a C-shaped chord in order to keep the regular position for the right hand, but i struggle to get it done quickly at times. any tipps? (except for doing some chord changing exercises)

[tb0nestk]

Justin = Best Teacher

[Kane856]

Damn, that's surprisingly hard - been looking forward to this module :)

[afms93]

Love the new background on the beginning....Looks so professional...Thumbs up...ON THE VIDEO!!!!

[DerisedEgami]

The first pattern can be perfected by learning "Dust in the Wind", by Kansas. It was my first fingerstyle tune on the guitar.

[gongusan]

@DerisedEgami its not the same pattern

[DerisedEgami]

@gongusan Maybe not exact, but the Pinch, bounce bounce, pinch pattern is pretty much it. Don't get too technical on me, bro.

[RuslanHamzin]

that was awesome, thanks for you work

[artistssoftpastels]

somethings not right

[hrabia99332]

love this !

[mrdtrotter]

Excellent, cheers Justin...you are the man !
