Guitar Fingerpicking for Beginners

This video tutorial jumps right into fingerpicking for the beginning guitarist. It teaches you the terminology, notation and proper technique which first and foremost must be understood before you begin learning how to fingerpick.

Remember to start out keeping your hand steadily hovered over the strings and then naturally pluck each string with the finger directly above it without moving your right hand. After it begins to feel more natural, try speeding it up a bit while concentrating on keeping your right hand steady and making your fingers do the work.
