Technique Lab Program – Module 4/8
Pluck with the Thumb | Pop in C
Hey guys, there is a new lesson available for the Technique Lab.
In this fingerstyle lesson I am going to show you how to improve the thumb movement with this simple yet fun to play melody.
I called it “Pop in C” due to its rhythm.
This lesson should help you improve your thumb position as well as finger dexterity and overall plucking hand balance.
About the Exercise
Key: C major
Technique: Thumb movement
Fingerstyle pattern: Combination of single plucking with the thumb as well as i-m-a plucking.
Sections: Eight bars with one section only.
How to Practice: The thumb position is one of the most important aspect of fingerstyle guitar. It is indeed really important that you approach this exercise with the right frame of mind so that you can have fun playing it and at the same time improve your playing.
Make sure you position the thumb correctly and follow the three rules as explained below.
- Keep the thumb in front of the fingers.
- Pluck with the side of the thumb so that you can achieve a beautiful tone.
- If you have nails, use a combination of flesh and nails.
- Don’t grab and pull the string.
Good luck with this super exercise guys!
More coming soon.
