Hey guys, today I am going to show you how to use the fingerstyle technique to play beautiful chords on the guitar.

If you are familiar with the fingerpicking technique you probably know that it’s easy to simplify and transform chords when you pluck the strings as opposed as to when you strum.

The reasons for that is because the plucking technique allows you to single out some of the notes of a chord. We could, for example, play an A major chord using only three strings and pluck the bass note with the thumb while playing the chord on the G, B, and E string.

It’s also easier to play a melody using the fingerpicking technique because, as we just said, it’s easy to breakdown the bass line and the melody when you pluck the strings.

In this lesson, I am going to show you how to combine different musical elements such as chords, fingerpicking patterns, and melody to create a beautiful and simple chord progression.

Enjoy this lesson.
