Janet Robin & Taylor #2: Intermediate Fingerpicking with a Driving Bass
This acoustic guitar series of mini-lessons is perfect for the beginner, intermediate, and even advanced acoustic guitarist. With lots of lessons to choose from, you can learn a series of fingerpicking patterns to either start you out on a technique or add a new pattern you may not know. You will also learn some super cool percussive styles and alternate tunings, along with some very important tips and tricks. All of these different techniques will be sure to inspire you as a beginner or step up your acoustic guitar playing to the next level.
In this lesson, you will learn a slightly different form of fingerpicking from Travis, one with a driving bass line and additional triplets. Used by unique guitarists such as Lindsey Buckingham and Nick Drake, this form of fingerpicking is rhythmic and hypnotic and can draw the listener into your song more intimately—not to mention, it's a lot of fun to play!
