i mean 2 say,instead of strumming all d string while playing a chord,we can also strike the strings one by one wid our fingers and der is a pattern 4 it....i wanna knw abt it
Patterns differ from song to song...no definite form though, there are two different types of finger picking methods, but they are not just for chords, but for any kinda music you wanna play: 1. Rest Stroke - where you use your p, i & m fingers, useful IMHO for pickin many notes on single string fast. 2. Free Stroke - where you use i, m, a fingers on strings G, B, e(low) respectively. Thumb is used for playing root/ bass notes here on strings E, A, & D. Note here that fingers i, m, & a are used for only their designated strings. u might wanna see metallica - nothing else matters played easily using rest stroke. Just follow ----p i m a m i---- and so on hope that does it.....
