    Video Transcript

    "In this next exercise I'm going to show you a finger style that's used a, more commonly in classical so I'm going to also incorporate the classical kind of claw/attack way of finger style. And a, I'm going to use this exercise that I did on the previous clip except this time what I'm going to do is add an base notes. So when I begin to pick with my third finger I'm going to with my thumb pick an open E. And what I am doing here is basically playing in what's called a four four so basically I'm picking four measures, four notes to each whole note. Just holding that out and that's good because you basically are creating a base note with your melody in classical style."
