"K in this example what I'm going to do is showing you a, a finger pick melody, again using hybrid picking of pick and with fingers. I'm going to do an A Minor chord and a showing you alternate melody line and kind of creating a nice sounding finger pick alternate melody passage over a simple B. What I'm going to do first is show you the, what I'm going to be playing. And a, pretty much what I'm doing there is going, staring with a, A Minor chord seventh fret D and baring the fifth fret with the G, B and E on my, with my first finger and picking a, doing a pinch with the pick on the A string and my third finger on the A on the fifth a fret on the high E string and then picking the rest of the notes with my middle. So going, open or you know the B and G with my second finger and coming back with my third finger so going, seven, eight, seven and doing the A Minor so with the drums it'll sound like this. And so again, you know with the, a nice little finger pick melody there over simple drum beat you have another dimension you can add to your playing."
