Thanks Brian. Great as always, but I think the tab is wrong for the final G 2 bars…
Thanks for another great lesson. The alternating bass is something I need work on. I love it
Hey!! As you know already with me, Brian……….we can never have enough acoustic guitar (especially fingerstyle!) as everything acoustic transfers over to electric but not always vice versa!! I love to go back and work your Delta Blues as well and love how you’ve categorized your site into easily found guitar styles! This makes learning concentration much easier!!

Thanks Brian .A really good lesson. As I have said before, I have developed and played my own form of finger style over the years, and consequently have developed some bad muscle memory habits. It is now a question of re educating that muscle memory in my fingers . Not easy , I will admit, but perseverance is paying off , slowly but surely,and a lot of fun getting there.
Cheers. Countryman
Great lesson, Brian. Lots of fun to learn.
Another excellent lesson.
As usual, I panicked when I first heard you playing the rhythm part, but after you broke it down a bit, I’m beginning to get to grips with it. It’s a perfect follow up to some of the previous alternate picking styles you’ve taught us.
Thanks
Great composition! So much fun to play. My go to ‘I can play guitar’ piece. More please!
Very good lessons Brian. I also really like your teaching style i.e. very clear and to the point. It is now up to me to put this learning into practice.
Thanks

Hi Brian,
I just wanted to thank you for the exceptional tutoring, great!
Also, I have an Alvarez, Artist Series that looks identical to yours, except mine isn’t electric, What do you think?
Hey Brian,
Just wanted to thank you for this great lesson. My finger picking has improved a great deal! I appreciate your patience and thanks for showing us how to move chords down the fretboard!
More please ….keep up these fantastic lessons……I look forward to your weekly lessons to see where your going next. It seems no style is too tough too handle.
Thanks Brian……
just signed up a year premium membership because of this excellent lesson more finger style acoustics would be much appreciated
These lessons are fantastic thanks Brian. I have learnt so much since I joined your site about 6 months ago.
i love it! thanks Brian!
Hi Brian, Is it me or is the tab wrong for the first bar of G chord ?
At 7:10 You say play strings 2-3-2 but the tab looks different to me ?
Thanks
Rob
Well here is the funny thing Brian, I have asked you about using a pick before. You see I hate using a regular pick and I have mentioned this to you. And in this video you totally remind me of myself, in regards to you using a thumb pick. You say you can’t stand it, and it sounds like you get a bit frustrated maybe throw it down and tell yourself you will never use it again. Well that’s EXACTLY how I feel when I play with a regular pick!! Reminds me of myself so much. It just feels so doggone clunky to me. I mean I can use it to some degree but I feel like a fish out of water, but I am SOO much more comfortable with my own fingers. I just thought I would express that so people can understand how some of us are. And maybe you can now see it better since we can compare the two (thumb and regular pick). Anyway love your site and lessons Brian!!! I am very thankful for the work that you do for us
Thanks. The majority, of my guitar playing is finger style, and this is a great tune.
