Being a retired 64 yr old, I am forced to live on a fixed income. I recently moved from Southern Califonia to a small town in Tn to reduce living expences. I love the move and intend to stay here, even if finances were to change.
I just want to tell you that even though I havent subscribed untill now, I watch your channel frequently and find a lot of help here for my renewed guitar playing. I am unable to spend money on anything except for necessities so I really appreciate all that you provide on your channel.
I hope things go well for you and (selfishly), look forward to cotinued content that you provide.
Thank you for all that you do for us, your viewers.

Hi Steven....I'm same age and retired on fixed income as well. Playing my old guitar usually makes me feel better than I deserve! It's great to have a channel like this to provide help and encouragement to old pickers like us....I'm subscribing today!!!

I really dont understand the human race... why are some people so freakin negative? I call it rude! Did y'all not have parents that taught kindness and love, or at least basic manners? Here is a guy offering free demonstrations on video, not to mention his 30 lessons and his books for free. THAT MEANS IT COST US NOTHING. Even if everything he showed was completely incorrect...who cares. We have lost nothing. The lessons are pretty great and I dont see anything at all to critique in a negative way. I tried to learn the guitar about five different times in the past 30 years. I have went to one on one lessons, group lessons and a dozen on line teachers and by far and Erich is by far the BEST I have seen and/or used. From the very beginning the things he teaches before you even pick up the guitar really lit a fire in me and for the first time made me WANT TO Learn. In only my fourth day, 60 minutes a day I can play 4 chords...which is further than I ever progressed in that short a time. I cant wait to see where I am 0ne year from now, only investing 60 minutes a day. Thats all the time I can guarantee each day. So to all you Negative Neds and Debbie Downers and JPAH's. Get a hobby, or a job or a life. (jpah- just plain ass hats) Erich I thank you i can tell you definately love the guitar and would really like it if everyone on the planet could play the guitar. I THANK YOU
So kind of you Jesse! Thank you so much. There are two types of people in this world. Those with winner attitudes and those with loser attitudes. And depending on the attitude, it will determine one’s results.
right on!
Wait... He's wrong?
Damn that's long
Whos negative?
I've been a casual guitar player for years, and recently have decided to step up and be more serious about my fingerpicking. This was honestly an excellent video for me to get a clear start on my road ahead. Other videos with tips and techniques were nothing compared to this very basic, simple, yet powerful practice lesson. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Austin. To get the PDF with all the tabs, go to the finger, picking video in this course that I have created for you: www.yourguitarsage.com/30
Thanks for watching this lesson my friends! Let me hear your feedback and any more topics you would like for me to shoot a video on. Keep up the practice. e :)
YourGuitarSage hey you suck
YourGuitarSage Thank you for your help!
how do you find/play a melody of a song using finger-picking?
YourGuitarSage wheres the link plz
Rene Sanger.... Dust In the Wind by Kansas is a good one to learn.
6,3,2,1,2,3 . 6,3,2,1,2,3 Got it. Thanks going to try this, and will resist the chords ( haha for now). This is best demo/explanation I’ve seen on TH-cam. Most seem to instruct as if everyone already knows how to pick. Appreciate the video.👍.
Don't fall for it kids! He's trying to get you addicted. The first one is always free. Then you'll be back for more. Next thing you know, you'll have spent your whole life playing guitar. Maybe just for yourself or possibly .....causing otherwise perfectly normal people to dance and sing to your music!
If I'm trying to learn guitar for my own then it's good but if I'm learning guitar because I'm forced to, I won't spend my time to this, but in my situation, I'm learning it because I want to and I have my self control to prioritize the things I need before guitar. Nothing is bad if I play guitar in my whole life as long as I could feed myself though
Hate to break it to you matey, but a guitar isn’t drugs 😭

Amin that dudes like you exist to worn us about hidden terrors of inexpressives joy of actually playing the guitar.

the issue is Merle Travis style vs fingerpicking which are to different ways of playing picking patterns the former relying on a rolling base line and planting your pinky on the pickguard. This totally changes the guitar angle. Solution: do what Chet Atkins does and eliminate the pinky he said I rarely use my pinkey. What your goal should be is changing the angle for fingerstyle so ultimately you can play flamenco if you wish to do so one day.
No no no...Merle Travis played with thumb (bass) and index (melody) only, Chet Atkins used thumb (bass) and his index and middle finger (melody)...Jerry Reed played with thumb (bass) index, middle, ring, and sometimes pinky. Ain't no wrong way, just your way. If it works for you, it's right.
saaaaame!!!feel like my ringfinger is so wek and hard to control in comparisonn to other figners lol..
Erich, Thank You for another great lesson. You've simplified nearly every concept of guitar playing that I've ever wanted to accomplish. From struggling through the "F'n" F chord" to learning musical scales, you simplify it all; and suddenly, it all starts to make sense! I REALLY benefited from your lesson on the Rule of Thirds in this same way. Wow. Something that I struggled with for weeks with a lesson book I was working from, became so crystal clear with just one of your sit down lessons. I can't imagine finding a better teacher either online or in person. You're teaching is in a style that really speaks to me and unravels the mystery of guitar. By the way, I HAVE finally mastered the F chord! Can you imagine how exciting that was for me!? I had to show anyone who stopped by, that I can cleanly play the F chord! Next stop: fingerpicking. Thank you, thank you!
You're a great teacher, really clear. You break it down to the most simple of instructions which is exactly what's needed. I played the guitar 20 years ago and in 2 minutes you showed me some bad habits that I had. If only there had been youtube 20 years ago! Thanks and keep teaching!
Your e-book is fantastic. Thorough and accessible! I already play guitar (and teach music) so I appreciate all the work you put into writing it. I was looking for a refresher on finger picking. So glad I found your resource! Thank you!

Thank you for this lesson. I know how to play the guitar but I only know 1 finger picking technique which my mother taught me when I was 14 (10 years ago). So far, I found this video to be the most helpful compared to the other finger picking lessons. You're a good teacher!
hi i really enjoyed this video. im a totally blind guitar player. ive taught myself to play the guitar. its one of my favorite instruments to play. i want to get better at finger style though keep up the good work. :)

@@DannyBridie what about the smiley sym
One of the best presentations on starting fingerpicking that I have seen. Straightforward, understandable and very useful. Thank you for breaking it down into a technique that can you can begin to practice immediately, well done.
You are so welcome my friend! Your gratitude is infectious. Please let me know how I can help.
You tought me on how to tune my guitar without a tuner and i just listened to how your guitar sound and i tried to tune mine and it works 100% thank you great teacher i do appreciate a lot.
He is very interested in helping beginners and a great teacher.
You got to love him .
You're a good teacher, I enjoyed doing that in the video, I'm just a beginner, I bought my guitar 5 days ago, and I don't know anything about it at all for now, but I'm willing to learn everything about guitar. I have an Acoustic Guitar. I really need someone to teach me, I would like to be your student
Just starting to learn finger picking. I've been using a pick for yeatd. I found your video to be simple and informitive. Looking forward to learning and changing my playing style. Thank you for your help.
as someone who is learning from a music book, this really helps thx you so much
your intro has more power than the entire us
Thank you so much! I am a beginner in finger picking and this is a great start, I really need to practice this now.
This is wonderful! I’m an absolute beginner and you made it so easy with understanding the basics, thank you!
Me too! Easy to understand. Thanks!
Many years ago, I made up and created my own fingerpicking, so I never learned the "right" way, and it limited my playing enjoyment. In five minutes, you have changed my playing, and taught me a new way to create muscle memory! Thank you! (And, I agree with your spay/neuter philosophy, as well!) You have provided some great lessons.
Such a clear and concise tutorial...thank you and thanks for all the free instructionals.
I loved this lesson and I love your course. Though I have been playing guitar for long, I haven`t been able to make much progress due to bad fundamentals. Starting your course from scratch is helping me fill the gaps I have in my playing. I encourage everybody to subscribe to your channel and purchase your course. If you are serious, that's what you gotta do. Thanks again Erich

I've always had such a hard time getting the hang of finger picking, and now after watching this one video i immediately got the hang of it. This guy is like somekind of guru. Thanks man
As an older player, whose been playing a long time, I found this extremely helpful.
A tutorial that actually teaches something.
You are blunt as hell and i love this. Im sorry i didnt discover your channel earlier.
Thanks man! Informative and Enjoyable! Just what I wanted from a video lesson!
I've been struggle for days for what should be the proper pattern of picking playing guitar. More love to this video help me a lot. 💙
Thank you sir for breaking this down to a simplified form, I love it.
Thank you for the lessons. I started playing guitar when I was 14, didn't take it too seriously. Since I couldn't afford lessons back then and there was no TH-cam in the 80s I was pretty limited on what I could learn. I've played off and on since, but I've also put it down for years at a time. Just within the last year or so I've decided to dedicate myself to becoming a better player and learning more about guitar and music theory in general. I must say TH-cam is a great tool for that. Thanks again, you've helped a 46 year old man begin to learn to fingerpick!
I m taking Erich’s lessons on Udemy and enjoying every piece of it. So far whatever he said about the journey of a beginner and the way he guides to enjoy the learning phase instead of getting frustrated is awesome. I wish i wud have lived in Nashville to take his lessons in person.
Thank you, Sayed 🤗🙏
THANK DUDE. GOOD VIDEO. Short, Simple, and just want I needed.
thanks dude! other guitar videos i’ve watched act like i already know the basics of fingerpicking, i don’t!! you went through with THE basics, which really helped me understand. thank you!
THANKS YOU VERY MUCH
BY POSTING THESE LESSON YOU PROVE THAT SIR
THAT YOU ARE AN REAL ARTIST
Thank you so much you are awesome..... thanks so very much blessings!!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind heart in sharing so many free tutorials:)
You are so welcome!😀🙏
i can't thank you enough because i learned how to tune my guitar in one of your videos in just 10 minutes, i just can't believe it because i always leave home to ask people to help me with my guitar's tune, you are a genius, i can't thank you enough!!! God bless you, sir!
Good lesson. Thanks.
I think he's that funny teacher that you won't get bored learning from 😂 kudos to you, sir!
YGS, I have been only recently stated the “first 30” lessons and YOU, my friend are not only a master, but as I’m 41, you have inspired me to keep trying. I have attempted to take up the guitar several time and get into a rut, and believe I’m not getting anywhere, so give up. Doing the first 30 I feel I’m making progress consistently. If I were to win, would really love to be taking the rest of your lessons. As it would change my life more than it already has. As for the guitar, well I live in Australia, and have purchased an acoustic guitar already, so I would ask that you donate it to a deserving less fortunate person, in the hopes that taking up the guitar would change their life as well. Keep up the great vids an mentoring!
Three years later and this video is still so helpful. Thank you
I came here because I am learning a song for Christmas! You know, Christmas is more enjoyable with a taste of classic movies. 😊
I'm 43 y.o. and I've never played guitar, don't even own a guitar yet. Been looking to see what approach or learning avenue I was going to take. You seem like a good one to use. I had a snare drum when I was in middle school, that's the only instrument I've played.
Wolf River Cam Well, good luck, have fun, and remember you're never too old to learn an instrument!
BUY TWO GUITARS SO U CAN SLAM ONE ON THE FLOOR AND STOMP ON IT SOMETIMES LOL GOOD LUCK
I just started playing guitar. I won't mention my age. However, I took a course at the local college and seeing that I liked it somewhat, just finished a course in basic music theory. You'll be surprised at how much theory pushes you past that "I'm stuck" level. It's coming along.
Check out justinguitar's free beginner course too. Very helpful.
Marty music has helped me so much. This guy and him I think are the top
thumbs up, i have struggling a lot to get it right and in an easy way.... and now my prayers have been answered .... let me now begin practicing it right away
As a complete amateur looking for guidance i really appreciate this video and all the free information! I look forward to learning! and signing up for more of your lessons!

Great tutorial, mate. I'm embarrassed to say how many years I've been playing guitar and haven't taken the time to do some decent finger picking. I haven't been wearing a necktie either, which is probably where I've been going wrong! I've recently discovered the wonderful John Prine which has made me want to pick up the guitar again. Greetings from Scotland. 🏴
Same!!! 55 years old and just now taking the time to learn. I’ll probably never wear a neck tie, though.
Love your dry sense of humour. Got the courage now to pick up my new guitar and try this lesson. Excited about the journey ahead. Thank you for excellent video.
Thanks for the video...you are really a great teacher and everything was clear and easy. I am going to take advantage and hopefully will be a great guitar player one day.
You have a great way of explaining that make you invaluable, so again, thanks so much.

Erich - I am a psychotherapist and a guitar player (it is a form of therapy for me). You have nailed it. Our culture does not teach the true dynamics of integrative learning. Instead we are trained in rote learning. Thus, learning music or a foreign language is discouraging for many because integrative learning or "calibrated" learning takes time and patience. But the real enemy in all of this is ourselves. The more pressure we place on ourselves through self-criticism, impatience, & shoulds, gotta's, oughta's, the quicker we will burn out at whatever the endeavor. I have taught myself to approach learning a piece with no expectations. Each section learned is a victory, no pressure, no unrealistic demands, just a challenge, "what part of this can I learn today?" The goal is to keep it interesting, challenging, and fun. I'll never be anything more than an intermediate player, not looking to be in a band. I just enjoy the learning challenge and the result of the effort. Folks need to learn to quit "shoulding on themselves", focus on the immediate challenge and enjoy the experience. I think you are the first TH-cam guitar teacher I have known to address this issue so head on and so accurately. The elephant in the room has been identified! By the way getting off the pot is not a bad idea if you want to learn guitar! Thanks for a great video. Rock on dude!
Thank you shrinkdoc49 for your very kind comment. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. e

just want to add this comment. This guy has a udemy course with close to 30 hours of instructional guitar for only $15 cad. if you want a nicely formatted online course, i would highly recommend it. Hes a great teacher.
I agree. I bought several of his courses and they're top notch
Hes Greay but if u wanna learn get yousician it's an app that got me in 10 months to the point to play almost anything now (not perfect yet but it's only been 10 months

Wonderful lesson my man! Never saw it taught like this before. Enjoyable and very helpful!
This guy is truly amazing
In the finesse of the picking do we pick with tips of our fingies or do we need to grow our nails and pick using the back of our nails, or can we tape picks the top of our nails using epoxy ? Much thanks sempia you really have have thaught me many fundamental skills
I use the tips of my fingers cause my nails tend to get dirty really quick. It's your decision tho, but you'll need to shape your nails ( I believe) if you wanna use them.
