Hi Bill, that was nice. If you stuck with it, you would be a finger-picker.

Hey Bill, you’ve got that one pretty wired. You make it look easy. Maybe crank up the record volume a bit next time so we can hear that guitar better.

Hi Bill, this one is a good to do for those of us trying to get some fingerstyle skills. I enjoyed your laid back approach, keep at it.

Hey Bill, your finger-pickin’ style is fine, great in fact, you’re really pulling out the feeling and the beauty of those notes.
Adding the thumb takes some work, but once it clicks into gear, it’s like riding a bike, or ringing a bell.
(For me, I play way too much with my thumb, kind of stuck in the thumb-rut.)
Bri would definitely relate to your efforts, and appreciate your contribution. Thanks -

Hey Bill! I thought you did great! It sounded good to me. And if it sounds good it is good.
One thing that helped me is using the general rule of your thumb playing the notes on strings 6,5,&4. Your index plays notes on string 3. Middle string 2. Ring finger on string 1. If you stick to that as a general rule I think you will have a greater economy of motion. You will be moving less with you right hand when playing. Just a thought. Keep up the good work!

Bill, that sounded great to me. I think you don’t give yourself enough credit on the finger picking. I wish you’d have keep playing a little longer. Beautiful guitar, by the way.
