💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This week’s lesson is about solo guitar, which is where we're playing multiple parts at once - melody, bass, and sometimes chords too.
We're going to talk about something that's going to help a lot with getting the full sound of solo guitar, which is thumb independence.
When we're playing more than one thing at once, can our thumb stay steady and independent from what we're playing on top, whether it's melody or chords?
Can we keep track of what we're playing physically, mentally, and aurally?
In this lesson I’m going to show you five thumb independence guitar exercises that are going to help with this fingerpicking skill.
I think they're really fun and very challenging.
You can pick and choose from the exercises as you're working towards playing solo guitar, classical, fingerstyle, fingerpicking, or whatever your goals are.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about improving your fingerpicking with these thumb independence guitar exercises. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
Thanks! :)

I can’t wait to do these thumb exercises. Why do we have to go to work!😆
Haha!
Said that to myself so many times in the past. Hang in there retirement awaits.
This is SO COOL! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️😁
Wow. Super useful drills to whip my thumb into shape! Thanks! :)
Happy to help!
Thanks Jared. I like the way you're talking of training the brain to hear the different parts of the picking pattern. I'll definitely start trying that in my practice today.
one of the best, if not such for thumb independence training g..
Fits in to the other videos on the thumb, independence thanks Jared
I'm glad it helps :)
Great lesson, Jared. Been practicing Tommy Emmanuel's boom chick method for over 6 months now, still struggling with the Freight Train song. Your approach appears easier to follow, and I shall give it a try. By the way, the Martin in your video looks more like an LX1e than SWOMGT (from the smaller scale length and overall appearance). Thanks a lot...
I'm probably not the first to say it but you're an excellent teacher. Subscribed😁
Thanks! Happy practicing :)
Great lesson, but kind of advanced. Do you have a lesson similar to this for less advanced players?
Great exercises. What model Martin are you playing?
It's a Martin SWOMGT from around 2012. Spruce top, cherry back sides and neck, katalox fretboard and bridge
