        Hello

        Fingerpicking remains a struggle for me 🙂

          Yeah, fingerpicking takes a lot of practice, but that sounds really good.

            Super good work. You have your own personal finger picking style that works great.

            Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

              I enjoyed that, Ruediger. You have the perfect piece to test all the acoustics in the local shop.

                I gave up on finger picking myself. But you managed to play this pretty well Ruediger. Nice job!

                    Nicely done Ruediger.
                    Ah! finger picking, welcome to the club.

                      A challenging piece, but you did a creditable job, Ruediger. Keep that thumb thumping the bass notes. You’ll get it down.

                        Sounds like you are well on your way Ruediger. Couple more times through and I bet you’ll really nail it.

                          Hi Ruediger, this is sounding pretty nice! Great piece to bring it all together, and enjoyable to hear.

                            Hi Ruediger,
                            You have a nice melody being played with
                            Your finger style of play. Practice and development of your style will take you where you want to be..nicely done 🎶🙂

                              This sounds really good to me, Ruediger. Has good flow and doesn’t sound like you are struggling at all. I am sure you will get even better at it with more practice, so I wouldn’t give it up. Great post!
