Obviously there is no shortage of material on the internet for learning fingerstyle. I consider myself more of a fingerpicker than a finger stylist and one of the basics of fingerpicking is learning to play a steady alternating bass on the quarter notes. Tune you E bass down to D (1 whole tone down) so you have now 2 D bass notes on the 6th and 4th strings. If you don't know already this tuning is called Dropped D. I like to capo up a couple of frets doing this but you don't have to. Anyway just practice alternating with your thumb between these 2 strings on the beat ie. count 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4, ect. The goal now is to to put in some notes using your other fingers on the off beat ie. on the ands while continuing with the steady bass notes on the beat. 1
and 2
and 3
and 4 . Sounds simple enough but some things are simple but not easy, golf for example. The key is a steady alternating bass which will take some practice. Good luck and no charge for this lesson.
