Folk Fingerpicking Lesson Nine (Bass run on C)

You will have to have looked at lessons one and two for the picking pattern in this one.
Now that we've covered the basic picking styles its time to move onto how to combine these with simple bass runs. These sound really effective when you are fingerpicking and they are used in a great deal of folk songs.
The next few lessons cover these. They may not seem that exciting at first but they are absolutely fundamental.

That was very revealing, thank you. I played The Boxer some 20 years ago when I was a student but I never knew about "bass runs" at that time. What a hidden gem this is at the end of your 9th lesson... Thank you, now its time to brush up my "boxing skills" :)
