I think Tyler gives some of the best lessons on NextLevelGuitar.

very helpful

@123guitartom123 P I M A C is a common abbreviation used for fingerpicking. Pulgar - thumb. Index - index finger. Middle - middle finger. Annular - ring finger. C - not sure on the name for this, but it's the little finger.

I agree. I could never ascertain a consistent method for identifying fingers....a basic thing to do when making a film. You can figure it out but it is largely a waste of time when you can watch a decently planned "instructional" video

[123guitartom123]

what the fuck are "p" "m" and "i"????? i've been playing guitar for a while and i've never heard those terms.....

"pointer" , "middle" , and "index" is the only thing i can think of but it doesn't even make sense cause pointer and index are the same finger.......i'd be able to figure it out but the guys small strings are so thin i can't see them vibrating on that close up angle...

Nice lesson. I have learned a lot from this and am able to put what I have learned into practice. Thanks! Kind Regards

Thank you... Finally, a great lesson for starting blues guitarist, breaking down what the right hand does first was/is key for me, as I had no idea how to get that rhythm until you did this lesson. I can only imagine that for many blues veterans that this seems trivial, but not if your just starting..

Thanks again, I am a better guitar player today as a result of your lesson.

just bite your left hand nails

@EuphoriaMusicSession Me too, i cant stop biting them, i tell myself not to and next thing i know they are gone.

@TheGhostsSoul .it all depends on what kind of music youre wanting to play. if your wanting to play crazy guitar leads then you might want to use a pick,but if your wanting to play fingerstyle like in the video then you obviously don't need one. Most of the time when im strumming songs i don't use a pick by preference. my advice to you is do whats comfortable, you can't go wrong! as you progress you'll be able to use one regardless of whether you used one while learning, it's not a bad habit.
