The heel of my hand is pretty close to the bridge but isn't touching it, which you can't really see with the camera pointing straight at my hand. I usually let my hand float when I'm playing fingerstyle patterns, but plenty of great players anchor their hand with the pinky.
@@deltafour1212 I don't really anchor when I'm playing fingerstyle patterns, but sometimes I'll anchor when I'm playing melodies with a pick (not strumming, just melody playing). When I do, I just stick my pinky out and anchor below the bottom string. Also, when I'm playing with a pick, I'll use the heel of my hand to lightly touch the strings I'm not playing so I they don't start ringing. Again, I don't anchor when I'm playing fingerstyle, but plenty of great guitar players do.
11/8 is more complex than either 3/4 or 4/4 time. You won’t be able to use any 3/4 or 4/4 patterns to play in 11/8, but you can adapt the 4/4 P-I-M-A finger pattern. In 11/8, the 8th notes can be grouped in a variety of ways. I don’t know what song you’re learning, so I’ll give you two common 11/8 groupings and hope that your song matches one of them. The 8th notes in your song could possibly be divided 4+4+3. If this is the case, you could play the finger pattern P-I-M-A + P-I-M-A + P-I-M. The 8th notes could also be divided 3+3+3+2. If this is the case, you could try the finger pattern P-I-M + P-I-M + P-I-M + P-I. As I mentioned, there are other ways a song in 11/8 could be divided, but I hope this gives you some ideas.

This is gold! Is the heal of your hand resting on the bridge?

@@GodfreyGuitar What technique if any, do you do for an anchoring point?
