Playing Lead & Rhythm Using Only Finger Picking on Left Handed Guitar

Video Transcript

"This other example of finger style, I'm going to simply show how you can maneuver around the guitar playing lead and rhythm using your fingers and only your fingers. There are some very famous guitar players that play exclusively with their fingers like Jeff Beck a Mark Knopfler and many others but those two in particular are probably more famous examples. Basically when you're using you, a regular style you want to almost be like your hand is like when you pick. You want your fingers very close together not like this, you want it more in this motion and what I use normally is my thumb and first three fingers primarily. I very rarely use my pinky even though the more fingers you use the better so like for example I could go, and you get that nice gritty tone just because you're not using a pick so therefore it's a it's not as precise sounding, it sounds more human to me. So you can do things like, and you could also add like little pops, and you, you can really dig into the guitar more. It's kind of a cool method so you know, an example of playing it would be like you'd play your base notes with your thumb and a the melody with your other three fingers so with a nice gritty tone."
