There are mainly three things that a beginner fingerpicking player can do to make whatever it is that he’s practicing more exciting and motivating.

Keep things practical, musical, and simple.

We need practical and musical exercises that keep us motivated. Also, we want the exercises to be simple so that we can learn it quickly and maintain momentum.

The exercise you will learn in this lesson combines these three elements beautifully.

In the first section, you will learn classical chords played in 6th.

In the second section, you will learn a simple fingerstyle melody.

We will be using the capo on fret III to make things slightly different, but you can also practice the piece without the capo.

Enjoy this lesson.
