When and how to start learning to fingerpick?

Hello, friends and experts! I'd like to know what you knowledgeable people think about when and how one might start learning to fingerpick, especially through the GuitarTricks system. I'm a quarantine beginner who's really, really happy I finally started learning guitar. One of my eventual goals is to learn fingerstyle, and my current plateau - strumming away on open-chord songs in the beginner module - has me really hankering to learn to make different sounds with the instrument.

I listen to experts, so hit me with that advice.

Hi canaan.morse,

Thanks for this question. It's a great question. If you're a beginner, then I suggest you go through the Guitar Fundamentals Level 1 and Level 2 and then jump into ACoustic Level 1 and then Acoustic level 2.

This is the best path for you to take, especially if you are interested in learning fingerpicking. There are a lot of fingerpicking lessons in the Acoustic course, but in order to learn these properly, you must learn the fundamentals.

I hope you keep it up!

Let us know if you have any questions.

Best,

Billy
