Stick with it, play the patterns slowly and accurately and you will see progress.

If by "fingerstyle patterns" you mean right hand finger-picking patterns one of the best things you can do is work through the Tarrega studies for the right hand.
They will get your thumb and fingers moving in a variety of permutations, some of which may not feel "natural" at first, but once you get past that feeling and can execute them effortlessly they will free you up to be able to make up and execute your own patterns. The book Pumping Nylon has a lot of great exercises for both the right and left hands (including the Tarrega studies) which if you work at will greatly improve technical fluency in both hands. If you can't read music, I think there is a TAB version of it. Aaron

I play both patterns and sometimes break out of patterns. It depends on what the song dictates. As a singer songwriter, sometimes staying to a pattern is just what is needed to keep a rhythm going under the lyrics. Tossing in some hammers and pull-offs or sliding into notes can add a bit of interest for sure but you do need to have the pattern down first. Lots of choices and places to explore.
I have used Mark Hanson's books and DVDs and found them very useful. Best, Jayne |

Less chit-chat, more patterns :)
I'm also mostly playing patterns, and slowly getting to the point where I can leave out the pattern and drop in some of the melody. I'm usually self-accompanying so I save that for intros and bridges, with a walking bass here and there.
Girl from the North Country is nice, and pretty easy to learn. The Boxer is pretty easy too, mostly just a basic alternating bass Travis pick. I love Jackson Browne's 'These Days', because you can basically sit on an Fmaj7, the prettiest chord on the guitar, for as long as you want. I learned it from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpEi1dbra1U, plus watching Jackson Browne perform it on Youtube. Josh Turner does a great lesson for 'Don't Think Twice It's Alright' - lots of fun stuff, couple hammer-ons, walking bass, and instantly recognizable to everyone over 50. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNVYwE-KGkQ |
