Anyone else just zone out and an hour goes by in a blink of an eye when playing guitar?
yeah fingerstyle can be kind of hypnotic!
Hell yeah and I’m only 2 months in to learning. Best purchase I’ve ever made
All the time and if I'm listening to Justin at the same time even more time flies by.
It happens whenever you're doing something you love! 😉
Not so much now that I'm rebuilding my house. But can't wait to get back that feeling.
Justin has made his name in the history of guitar. And in teaching.
He will raise an army of guitarists and musicians. I can't think of a bigger honor.
Such a pleasure to have you, with your usual cheerfulness, patience and enthusiasm, continuing to give these lessons, during these tough times. Recently turned 70, just over a year in to learning guitar on my own, and this has been such a help. Am, finally, making real progress, despite frustrations (mainly fingers not doing what I want them to do), by sticking with practice, and not rushing things. We have time! Being a folk music fan who wants to play my favourites this finger style is important, and this lesson makes a great start as a solid basic foundation. With many thanks and much appreciation.
How did you manage barre chords
Nice one man, just started at 72years Young lol, Justin is the man especially for us slightly older players, subscribed.
Quite agree, Justin is a great teacher. I'm 74 and making slow steady progress by following this great course!🤗 Thank you!👍
I'm 71 and have the same problem keith does. Wayward fingers but guess it's all down to practice and muscle memory. Problem is the old memory, brain and muscle ain't what it used to be but I'm not giving up.
Also into folk/ country so enjoyed the fingerpicking introduction .
@@mnphilip Very difficult! Still not mastered. I know it's about practice and patience, developing muscles and memory, but my fingers don't want to get into the right shape on guitar to make barre chords work. Despite Justin's excellent lessons and advice. At the moment I use alternatives to barre chords, to keep enjoyment going, while making regular attempts to have another go at barre chords. Progress is slow, but as with other areas of playing, there is progress!
That you understand beginners far more than the vast majority of internet / YT teachers has never been exemplified better than in this video. I have been learning with you for a couple of years and couldn’t be happier with my progress. But recently I decided to go off piste and look at some ‘beginners’ finger-style videos on YT (because it had’t come up in your course yet). I found those videos very discouraging, and not just because they all feature good-looking French guys. Eg using obscure chords and difficult chord changes in the first ten minutes when I hadn’t even begun to get familiar with PIMA. So, I came home to you and I am happy again… You are the best (and yes, Tommy Emmanuel is the other best!)
yeah, he's a very good teacher. A good teacher knows how to teach to people who don't know how to do it! bad teachers usually don't know how to do that and are showing off part of the time
I've only been playing guitar for five months and my fingerstyle has actually surpassed my flat pick strumming because I'm doing way more of it. Another great video.
Love the Travis picking style.
I totally get it now what he means by ''you kinda gotta feel it'' when he's talking about picking the strings.
I spent a few hours on 'Romanza' and its a very basic fingerpicking pattern but in the beginning youre still very conscious about it especially when changing chords and things get mixed up. But there's this breakthrough that just happens out of nowhere where youre not picking the strings anymore and your fingers just kinda wave over the strings. There's no pressure anymore and it just waves over it with the softest touch. It's such an amazing feeling to have!
I dunno why I like Papa Smurf in the background for lessons, but I def need him there. Thanks Justin!
100% agree
He helps keep things on track! :)
JustinGuitar f qfdlwl no
Thanks for your devotion to teaching the basics. These small, easy lessons are such a sweetspot in a busy weekday.
Great advice for beginners! You're becoming one of my favorites TH-cam guitar teachers! Thanks for sharing! 👍🙂❤
Justin you are a legend & I’d bet my bottom dollar your efforts will live on as long as time goes , thank you so much .🎸💯
Thanks Trent :)
@@justinguitar hi Justin I'm going to try this finger picking I seem to struggle everyday I'm more on the rhythm on accoustic guitar I'm going to try every body Hurts
Been playing for over 35 years - self taught and by ear. This is simplest explanation and teaching of finger picking styles 6/8 4/4 I have come across - thank you
Justin, thank you very much for all your lessons. Extremely helpful, and your gentle and friendly approach to teaching always makes me feel good and understood. I learn guitar on TH-cam, and you are my number one pick amongst all guitar teachers here. Absolute legend, the amount of content you produced over the years is truly impressive. Great website too! Feeling lucky and grateful to have access to this quality stuff online. Keep up the great work mate, and thanks again!
LOL...Justin invented a new chord...the A minjor. lol Great lesson, Justin, for this 76 year old who's shied away from finger picking for the past few years while learning to play. Thank you SO much for this lesson!! Cheers, mate!! :)
this guy is fantastic, calm and easy to listen to..
Another great lesson from our Justin!
Justin, thank you so much for sharing your talent and lessons, you’re a inspiration with your great personality.
First time listened to one of your lessons. What a pleasure to find an instructor sooo easy to follow . Am hooked now. Been plonking about 3 years using thumb for every note. Def will now concentrate full finger style over winter. Many many thanks.
Greatest tutorial! Thank you!
I have only found your channel in the last few weeks and even your beginner info is great. Just watched this and enjoyed the way you explained and demonstrated. thanks
Omg thank you for this
tbh I think the littlefinger anchor thing probably just depends on your hand shape/ finger sizes. When I tried to "self teach" fingerstyle (bumbled my way through elliott smith guitarpro tabs)- I naturally/unconsciously did the little finger anchor, I actually assumed it was a bad thing since I figured more complicated fingerstyle songs would need the little finger to be ready to pluck strings - I just find it naturally comfortable and I don't think there's any technical advantage aside from it just being naturally comfortable for certain people.
I love your guitar teachings in general and in this tutorial I particularly smiled at the nail part. I know that I'm supposed to have long nails for classical guitar playing, but when I play the bass guitar, this doesn't work. So glad to have found a teacher who leaves it up to us!
Good lesson Justin. Thank you.
Great video thx !
The best beginner's fingerstyle lesson by far on youtube, thanks, Justin.
I've spend like 30minutes looking for the right fingerstyling lessons..am glad I found you. 🤗
Ever since I've been learning from Justin's courses, my technique has improved drastically! He is so thorough! Love him!
You are the best Justin, I played guitar when I was in high school but I quit after a few years, partly because my tutor wasn't as great as you are. I just bought a telecaster and giving a second try now in my late twenties.
Fingerstyle is one of my favourite styles as I would love to emulate mark knopfler, so I'm really looking forward to continue with these type of lessons!
These videos are so amazing and informative!!! Very user friendly, thank you!!!
You have no idea how excited I am about the upcoming fingerstyle module. Legit hero.
Good stuff here. Honest basic instruction. Thanks.🤠
Loved it brother.. waiting for next
Awesome!
Thank you! You are a wonderful teacher. Very easy for myself as a beginner to follow.
Hi Justin ! I am a fan of yours !! I love watching your videos. I kept pushing myself to be really good in playing the guitar. I have learnt a lot... and continues to learn. Thank you ...
Thanks, Justin for your awesome and FREE tutorials! I learned whatever I know today from them. I am beginning to learn fingerstyle now and had a question. I wish to play songs with the ability to switch between pick-strumming and fingerstyle and I don't want to rely on some less-common things like a thumb pick, since it may not be available everywhere (in that moment). 2 main recommendations I've come across while researching are:
1. Using thumb + 1st finger with the pick for the 3 bass strings and fingers 2,3,4 for the last 3 strings.
2. Holding pick between finger 1 & 2 and learn to switch back and forth (as in Rhett Shull's Fingerpicking tips on youtube. I'm not allowed to post links here it seems)
It would be helpful if you or anyone experienced in the community could recommend which way to practice.
Thanks 😊
Once again, awesome lesson. Thanks!!
How's the video uploaded 2 mins ago but your comment is 1 month old??
Sholom and peace for you Justin, you're among the people who makes the world like sweet home. I thank you so much. You are so great teacher, when you are showing the movement of your fingers you act like the students or you acts or assume in the place of a student or a learner. That is why I thank you. God bless you.
I’m a beginner, your short video is the best explanation on finger style basics and how it relates to each major chord. You have a new subscriber hope to learn more.
gold
thank you
Very good lesson, thanks.
Looking forward to the upcoming fingerstyle module!
Thanks Justin I'm 5 years into my guitar playing and just now getting curious about finger picking
Great lesson. Nice and relaxed. I’m off in the morning to buy your beginners song book. 👍
Came here to to get away from my finger pain what a great way to give the left hand a bit of a break and still keep learning
it sounds quite nice with that d chord and then open strings.
You're a hero Justin
I've seen your Hallelujah tutorial and this is exactly the picking pattern I've changed to :)
Awesome! I'm finding this so easy that I must be doing something wrong! Nothing like the struggles I've had trying to get chord changes fast & accurate
Super helpful. I've really managed to improve my fingerstyle by picking up a ukulele, however moving back to guitar I wasn't sure what to pick with my thumb with which chords.
Thank you, Jusitin, this lesson was just another "Click" for me!
That basic up and down cycle, the arpeggio, is how Oh Holy Night starts. So I hear Jason play that and think of a snowy Christmas Eve.
Justin, you're a brilliant teacher... you make a student feel so very relaxed.
Thank you for sharing. Appreciated. Yes lots of practice and be patient. Fingerstyles are my favorite style its so beautiful sounds and relax. I have been practicing it. First thing for me is to get to know better about my guitar and feel them each sounds until i get used my hands and fingers get used to it .then worry about chord changes.
Thanks
Very good basics. thank you!
Cheers 😊

Great tutorial 😍😍😍
This is actually the first finger picking guitar pattern that I learned via your videos 👍🤗👍
I do it with my nails cut short and I just love its sound
Your an awesome teacher, thank you 😍😍😍
20 years ago, I attempted to learn to play guitar, but I gave up.
I wish I had Justin as a teacher. Had I known these 'basics', I'd probably have been playing today. I'll definitely recommend beginner players watching this video.
Great video Justin! Have you thought about making beginners' videos about classical guitar? Anyway, great class and great tips.
What a great teacher for someone like me...just a beginner
Hey Justin,
I can't wait to get started with the fingerstyle module, but when will it be released?
Man, you've helped us guitar learners for so many years. Love you man! Greetings from Baghdad!
Great intro for my finger picking, beginner I am!
God bless you my dear teacher
I started fingerstyle trying to anchor my little finger but found it really tense and awkward, so started playing without the anchor and eventually made some progress. Tonight for some reason when back to trying anchoring and for some reason it felt much more comfortable than before. Townes van Zandt here we come!
Waiting for myself to improve! But my guitar strings just broke because I tune it hehe and what I got from tuning is broken strings. Btw thank you for the tutorials it helps me a lot💓
As usual, your charm and cheerfulness make you a pleasure to watch.
Thanks Sir for the tutorial.
So nice of you Cheers 😊

Another brilliant lesson , clear concise and makes me feel I can do it, thanks sincerly Justin. 👍
Thanks John!
Muchas gracias
Saludos
I like you have a short little finger which makes it feel cramped so I just persevere without anchoring. So far so good 👍
I love that hey! haha
Thanks Justin, great lesson!
Thanks for a great, straightforward lesson. Fingerpicking always seemed like this out of reach, almost mystical practice. Learning the basics here has put it within reach....at last!
Justin how about :
6 and 1 together then 3,2,3
5 and 1 together then 3,2,3
4 and 1 together then 3,2,3
Is these OK?
Waiting for more fingerstyle lessons 🙂
Hey Justin. When I have calluses snagging the strings, I use a nail file to smooth them out. You keep the callus but, they don’t snag the strings.
Been trying to learn guitar now for some time and I'm into trying to finger pick a song. I have no trouble reading tabs and I can play the song pretty well now. But what I find so difficult, in all fingerpicking songs for that matter, is to play in time to it when its a bit more advanced. Been looking through youtube to try to find some tips for this but no luck yet. Great videos though Justin, you should make one about keeping time in advanced fingerpicking :)
He’s got to be one of the best teachers out there.
I have always struggled on getting started with fingerstyle.. and I think I just found the right lesson. Thanks Justin! 🙂✨
I’m so glad you’re doing finger picking!! I bought a guitar to learn how to play my favorite songs, and nearly every song is a finger song!!! Auggggh Syd Matters, Daughter, Leonard Cohen... they’re all finger picking songs 🤦🏻♀️
Great Lesson Justin as always. I too can't use an achor, the poblem i have is if i anchor my pinkie on the pickguard i literally cannot move my ring finger properly its diabolical.
Sir, Thank u for the tutorials.. you are an amaizing teacher❤️
Great demo of 3/4 or 6/8 time, what if the piece is in 4/4? That will require a different rhythm.
Thanks for some of the best lessons out there!
Loved the lesson. I learned something! I subscribe to Justin guitar and I’ll have to look for this lesson. I found this easy to understand and was able to play the basics. Thanks! I’ll keep practising.
NICE NOICCCEEEEE
Searching for some good finger picking videos and I came across Justin once again. Search terminated and ready to learn .
8:54 - the intro to Love in Vain by the Stones, no? Love it.
nicest axeman on the tube !
Very useful video thank you for the info about playing the bass note based on the name of the chord. Any idea how to simply play F and B chords instead of substitute them?
New guitar? Mic inside. Great sound.
Awesome videos and they were highly recommended. I have never played guitar but I want to learn. I'm musically inclined and have played Sax and the harmonica, but I want to get into guitar so I can sing as well. Mostly for campfire jamming with my kids. When I think about learning guitar, I think about the scene from August Rush where he plays a percussive fingerstyle tune and that's how I see the outcome of learning guitar. However, idk where to start. Do I need to start with regular pick style or can I learn using finger style from the beginning and add percussion once I get a handle on it? Do you have a thread on fingerstyle for beginners that would start me from the very basics?
Hi Justin what is the the best finger picking style for slide on either on electric guitars or eletro accostic or accostic guitars
Hi Justin
I have seen buskers play melody in and around chords, with the guitar it seems we are play chords or playing lead. Do you have any lesson on this.
Hope l have made myself clear. Love finger picking lesson.
Thanks Phil 😃
i like ur guitar sir
John Mayer plays fingerstyle on electric all the time
Hey Justin! I have a question. What camera are you using to film your videos, and what mic are you using?
I enjoy your videos and have a question. What is your video set up. I am trying to record some stuff for my own use and I need nice closeups like these. What recording device, what support and how far from the guitar is the camera? Thanks
I'm getting hooked on learning to pick. I find it more easier to anchor down. Learned from Tommy Emmanuel.
Often
More videos on fingerstyle please!!
