Sweet Fingerpicking Pattern

The fingerpicking pattern is one of the most important aspect of this simple melody. It’s the tool we use to convey our musical ideas on the guitar so it is extremely important that you understand how to pluck the strings correctly.

If you the melody to sound sweet, you must follow three simple rules that will make your plucking impeccable.

The 45 degree angle

The index, middle and ring finger should be positioned on a 45 degree angle close to the strings, that will give you a great tone, control and perfect balance with the thumb.

When you pluck the strings, achieving a clean and beautiful sounding tone is of paramount importance for many different reasons. It makes your playing unique and and gives you a voice on the instrument.

Spend time working on your tone. Start by implementing the 45 degree angle then adjust based on your style and fingers.

Thumb Position

Another important aspect for achieving a sweet, pure tone is the thumb position.

Fingerpicking is balance between thumb and fingers. Without this balance, your plucking can be sloppy, uneven and “ugly”.

The thumb should always be positioned in front of the fingers. That will give room to the finger to pluck upwards.

Pluck with the side of the thumb and if you have nails, always use a combination of flesh and nail.

Make sure the thumb is always in line with the wrist and avoid any other position that doesn’t look like the one below.

There is always room for small adjustments but the one below is a pretty good reference to follow.

Left Hand and Chords

The number one rule when playing a sweet melody is the over-ringing, which should be applied throughout.

The over-ringing is way of playing in which the chords ring out nicely.

As we are in E major key, over-ringing is really pleasant and easy to achieve. Try to hold the chords and notes of the melody for a little longer so that you can create a beautiful ringing sound.

Switch Between Chords and Melody by Using Different Picking Patterns

Jul 13, 2018

Switch Between Chords and Melody

by Using Different Picking Patterns

Hey guys, I hope you are having a fantastic day. Today I want to show you how to switch between chords and melody by using different picking patterns.

Switching between plucking patterns is one of the most challenging thing fingerstyle guitar players face.

If you are a beginner, follow this lesson to learn how to become more versatile with picking patterns.

About the Exercise

Key: A minor

Technique: Fingerstyle, alternate fingering.

Plucking Pattern: In this lesson there are two different picking patterns in three. You will play a P/a – m – i pattern for the chords and an alternate fingering pattern for the melody.

Time Signature: The exercise is in 12/8 which divides each beat three counts.

Sections: Two sections with with different chord progressions. The section A combines chords and melodies using Am – Em chord progression. The section B is more melodic and uses more single notes than chords.

Level: For beginners and intermediate guitar players.

How to practice: The goal is to become more familiar with switching between chords and melody. The transition can be quite challenging at first so practice each picking pattern separately.

Picking Pattern

In this awesome fingerstyle guitar lesson we are going to learn two different picking patterns. The Pattern A used on the chords and the Pattern B used on the melody.

One of the most useful thing we can do to learn the patterns easily is to figure out how they are played.

For the Pattern A (The one played on the chords), assign the thumb on the bass note, index on the 3rd, middle on the 2nd and ring finger on the 1st string.

The Pattern B is shorter (only three notes) and can be played with m-i-m (middle, index, middle).

Time Signature

This exercise is in 12/8 which means each beat is three counts.

This time signature is very simple to memorize as you can easily break down the beat into three counts of a eighth note each 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3.

If this is the first time you are playing a picking pattern in three, I highly recommend you start with one chord and slowly familiarize yourself with the pattern.

The Chord Progression

The chord progression is very simple. For the first section we have Am – Em played in different inversions while the second section will have F – C – Dm – E7 and A minor.

The chords are played using different inversions which means the notes of the chords are the same but in a different order.

In the example below I am going to show you how to play an A minor chord in its fundamental, 1st and 2nd inversions. Remember that the different inversion doesn’t affect the picking pattern.

The lowest note determines the name of the inversion (we call the lowest note root note).

Fundamental: The note A is the lowest note of the triad.
1st inversion: The note C, the minor 3rd is the lowest note of the triad.
2nd inversion: The note E, the perfect 5th is the lowest note of the triad.

The Dramatic yet Beautiful Sound of The Major and Minor 6th

Jul 11, 2018

The Dramatic yet Beautiful Sound

of The Major and Minor 6th

Hey guys, welcome to another awesome fingerstyle guitar lesson.

Today I am going to show you the dramatic yet beautiful sound of the major and minor 6th played on acoustic (or classical guitar).

I personally love the sound of the major and minor 6th for many different reasons:

They are easy to play and visualize on the neck.
The sound is beautiful, romantic, dramatic and powerful.
It’s easy to double the melody with the major and minor 6th.

This is a guitar lesson for any guitar player who want to learn more about chords, melody and the beautiful major and minor 6th.

To make it easy for you, I decided to write the exercise in E minor key which is indeed a familiar key for the majority of you.

About the Exercise

Key: E minor

Technique: Fingerstyle arpeggio and single note plucking.

Concept: Major and minor 6th played in E minor key.

Plucking Pattern: In this lesson the plucking pattern is quite unusual. We will be playing the strings with the P – i – m – a pattern but without plucking the 3rd string (G string). That will make the picking pattern “Weird” at first.

Sections: In this exercise there are two different sections. The first in which we are going to play slash chords with 6th and the second section with a simple melody over a different chord progression.

Level: For beginners and intermediate guitar players.

How to practice: The chords can be challenging at first. Learn one position at a time before moving on to the next chord.

Let’s get started.

The Chord Progression

One of the things I love the most about this exercise is the chord progression full of slash chords.

The slash chord is a chord with played with a different bass note.

When you learn the first section, the chord progression goes as follows: Em – Am/E – B7/E.

For a chord such as Am/E you want to play the A minor chord (doesn’t matter which shape as long as you play the A – C – E notes that build this chord) with the bass note of E.

Check the diagram below to visualize the Am/E chord.

This chord is played on the 4th string fret ten (C, minor 3rd of A), 2nd string fret ten (A, root note) and 1st string open (E, perfect 5th of A). However the bass note is the 6th open string E, which makes this chord an Am/E.

The Major and Minor 6th

Another awesome thing you will learn in this lesson is the use of the major and minor 6th interval.

The interval is the distance between two notes. If I play the note C and A, and I count the distance between them I will have a 6th.

In this fingerstyle guitar lesson we are going to play a melody entirely played on major and minor 6th.

Let me show you the E minor scale harmonized in 6th so that you can familiarize yourself with the positions and different shapes. Highlighted in red the major and minor 6th we are going to use in this lesson.

And also the different set of strings:

Major vs Minor Shape

Make sure you learn the difference between the major and minor shape so that you can easily recognize if the chord is using the major or minor 6th.

There difference is between one fret only.

Important! The shapes will change on a different set of string. Notice how the minor shape played on the 4th and 2nd string is different than the minor shape played on 3rd and 1st.

Technique Lab Program – Module 2 | Alternate Fingering | Classical D

Technique Lab Program – Module 2 |

Alternate Fingering | Classical D

Hey guys, new lesson available inside the Technique Lab Program.

In this lesson we are going to focus on one of the most important aspect of fingerstyle technique: The alternate fingering.

Understanding how pluck the strings is of paramount importance especially if you are a beginner.

If you improve your alternate fingering technique you will be able to:

Pluck the strings fluently
Play faster
Achieve a better tone
Improve finger dexterity

About the Exercise

Key: D major

Technique: Alternate fingering.

Alternate Fingering Pattern: m-i throughout (middle – index)

Sections: There are two sections. The first part of the exercise is based on a simple descending pattern which can be performed mainly on one string. The second section is a little bit more challenging and repetitive.

Level: For beginners and intermediate guitar players.

How to practice: I highly recommend to start with one bar at a time. The main plucking pattern is m-i movement so make sure you pluck the strings correctly. It is very simple to double/triple pluck with the same finger so start slowly and articulate a lot. Recording a video of you playing could help you figure out if you are plucking the strings correctly.

Understand the plucking movement before moving on to the next bar. As you notice, the left hand will navigate up and down the neck so spend time learning the left hand so that you can play the notes with confidence.

Control over speed.

If you have trouble with this exercise, leave a comment under the video on the Patreon page.

Good luck guys!

Fingerstyle Pentatonic Melody for Beginners in A Major (Bluesy)

Jul 9, 2018

Fingerstyle Pentatonic Melody

For Beginners

Hey guys today I am going to show you a super simple fingerstyle pentatonic melody for beginners in A major.

One of the most amazing thing about fingerstyle guitar is that we can combine chords and melody. Chords don’t have to be difficult and the melody can be pretty easy to play indeed.

In fact in this fingerstyle guitar lesson I am going to show you how we can easily play a fingerstyle pentatonic melody that is entirely based on the A major pentatonic scale.

I consider this melody to be happy, acoustic and country ish.

There are three things you must consider when starting this lesson:

For beginner: If you just bought your acoustic guitar three days ago, this is probably not the right lesson for you, but if you have been playing for a couple of month and you need a simple fingerstyle exercise, than I am sure you will enjoy this lesson.
The time signature: This lesson is in 12/8 which means each beat is three notes. If you’ve never played a song based on a compound meter, I suggest you do a little research before you get started.
Finger stretch: The Pentatonic scale can be quite stretchy on the fingers so if you are a beginner chances are your finger stretch isn’t developed enough. You can still play the exercise, just make sure you don’t over-play or force your tendons.

Time to start the lessons.

Have fun playing this fingerstyle pentatonic melody and let me know if you like the lesson on my YouTube channel or Facebook.

Good luck!

The Chord Progression

The chord progression for this fingerstyle pentatonic melody goes as follows: A – E – Bm – D

This super common chord progression can also be labeled as: I – V – vi – IV. The Roman numerals represent the degree of the scale from where these chords are built.

The A major scale goes as follow: A – B – C# – D – E – F# – G# – A.

Each note of the scale generate a chord which will follow a specific order of major and minor chords (also diminished if we consider the VII degree). For the major scale the chord progression goes as follow: Maj, min, min, Maj, Maj, min, Dim.

Here’s the A major chords: A major, B minor, C# minor, D major, E major, F# minor, G# diminished.

If you want to play a chord progression based on the I – V – vi – IV degree than you will have to play A – E – Bm – D.

Pentatonic Scale

The Pentatonic scale is one of the most simple scale we found in music. There are many reasons for that but I think the number one reasons is due to its simplicity. In fact, the Pentatonic scale is only five notes (rather than seven).

This simple fingerstyle Pentatonic melody is played using the five notes of the A major Pentatinic Scale: A – B – D – E – F# – A.

As you can see this scale doesn’t have the III and VII degree.

Due to this particular structure the Pentatonic scale is very simple to organize on the guitar neck. There are gaps that make this scale easy to memorize and also chord friendly. It is easy to improvise a solo using the Pentatonic scale because the notes sound good (most of the time).

Here’s a diagram of the A major Pentatonic scale.

Chords that Sound like a Melody | Chord Melody in E Minor

Jul 7, 2018

Chords that Sound like a Melody

Chord Melody in E Minor

In this fingerstyle guitar lesson I am going to show you how to play chords that sound like a melody using the chord melody approach.

One of the most amazing thing about fingertsyle technique is that it allows you to select which voicing of the chord you want to emphasize so that it’s easy to create melodies using the chord melody approach.

The chord melody technique (also called comping) is mainly used by Jazz guitar players to improvise or play a melody along with chords but in this lesson we will work on a pop chord progression using the same technique.

There are few things you might struggle with depending on your level:

The chords can be stretchy. In this lesson I did my best to play simple chords but sometimes I didn’t have choice but playing few of the stretchy chords such as D/F# and the A minor in position V.
The plucking changes frequently: Another thing some of you might struggle with is the fact that you will have to deal with a lot of different plucking patterns.
Emphasize the melody: You should always make sure that the melody is louder than the accompaniment. It takes a lot of control and practice.

Overall this is a useful lesson for anyone who want to improve their guitar playing, chords, plucking skills and musicality.

Take it step by step!

The Chord Progression

In this chord melody fingerstyle lesson we will be working on a chord progression in E minor key which use a verity of chords. The chord progression goes as follows:

Em – D/F# – G – Bm7 – C | Em – D/F# – G – G/B – C | Am – Em – G – D | Am – Em – D |

We are working on a lot of different chords so it is of paramount importance that you learn one chord progression at a time before moving on to the next one.

Due to the nature of this exercise, the plucking could change on each chord. The chord melody approach can challenge your finger-picking technique depending on your level.

Learn slowly!

The E minor key

This fingerstyle exercise is in E minor key.

The E minor key is one of the most popular key on guitar. The chords we are using in this lesson comes from the E minor key and can be easily playing within the first three frets of the neck.

The chords comes from the E minor scale: E – F# – G – A – C – D – E.

Once you learn the scale then you can then harmonize the scale by building triads on each degree of the scale. You can do that by selecting the root note of the chord (Indicated with the Roman numerals I) then add its III and V degree.

In the case of the E minor chord you will have E – G – B, which is indeed the E minor chord.

Do that for each degree of the scale to build the triads and learn how to play all the chord in the key of E minor.

The Slash Chords

In this fingerstyle guitar lesson on chord melody we will encounter slash chords such as D/F# and G/B.

The slash chord is a chord with a different bass note. The chord on the left tells you the chord, the one on the left side is the bass note that will be played over the chord.

When you play a D/F# slash chord you will basically play a D major chord with F# on the bass. The G/B is a G major chord with the B on the Bass.

The slash chords are really useful chords that can be used in chord melody to create beautiful bass line that sounds captivating!

The Plucking

One of the difficult aspects of chord melody is the ability to change the plucking put.

Most of the time the different plucking could be just of one string but if you are a beginner that could be a real struggle.

There are few things you must follow in order to make your plucking impeccable. I will list it down below:

The 45 degree rule: Pluck the strings using a 45 degree angle. By doing that you will be able to pluck the strings smoothly and with a beautiful tone. If your goal is to improve the way you play in chord melody, this simple rule will definitely change your playing for good.
Thumb position: You should always pluck the strings with the side of the thumb. Avoid grabbing and pulling strings by lightly plucking downward with the side of your thumb. Your thumb should be in line with the wrist. Check pictures below.
Repeat Repeat Repeat: One thing that will take your fingerstyle to the next level is repetition. So much about plucking involves muscle memory. Pluck the strings slowly and deeply understand the plucking movement. Tone over speed.

Beautiful Ringing Open Chords on Guitar | Only Possible in Fingerstyle

Jul 6, 2018

Beautiful Ringing Open Chords on Guitar

Only Possible in Fingerstyle

Hey guys, Marco here. Welcome to another awesome lesson. Today I want to talk to you about beautiful ringing open chords.

In this fingerstyle guitar lesson I want to show you how to transform basic and simple chords into beautiful ringing open chords that sound unique.

Most of the time we refer to open chord as basic chords played in the first position (three frets) of the guitar however in this lesson we will expand this concept a little bit and play open chords that are not basic.

This approach can only be possible if we play using fingerstyle technique so if you are a “Strummer” you can either make a change in your playing or change lesson.

The reason why I want to show you how to play open chords is because they are simple to play yet really effective. However, some of the chords I am about to show you can be quite stretchy on the fingers. If you are a beginner, take things step by step and take few breaks while practicing.

This lesson should help you improve different aspect of your playing such as chords, finger stretch and plucking fluidity.

Time to grab your guitar and get started.

Good luck!

Chord Progression and Structure

In this exercise there are two different sections:

The first section with the chord progression F – G – Am.
The second section is more challenging with the chord progression F – G – G – C – F – G – C.

Some of the ringing open chords will be played in a completely different way than the basic chords you already know.

In the example below I am going to show you the different between the basic chord in F major.

Notice that the F open chord I am showing you in this video also have the B open string which will make it an Fmaj#11.

Simple or More Difficult?

One of the question I get asked the most is whether or not the ringing open chords are more difficult than basic chords.

One of the thing I can say about ringing open chords is that some of them can definitely be easier to play that basic chords. In the example above you can see the difference between the two F major chords where it’s clear that the open chord is way easier.

However, these chords could become extremely challenging if you are not familiar with fingerstyle guitar.

The ringing open chords can only be played by plucking the strings.

I this lesson, the plucking pattern can be quite intimidating for guitar players who’ve never used finger-picking before.

My advice is to spend sometime practicing the finger-picking technique before exploring ringing open chords.

Open Chords Vs Ringing Open Chords

Another question I get the most is about the difference between Open Chords and Ringing Open Chords.

The Open Chords are basic chords played in the first position of the neck. You can also label them as basic chords or beginner chords as they represent the set of chords beginners learn when they start playing acoustic guitar.
The Ringing Open Chords are chords which have to be played with the over-ring technique. In this approach you must sustain the majority of the notes you play and let me “Ring out”.

Due to the over-ringing, the ringing open chords can be more challenging for beginners.
