Yeah, some fun stuff! I've been playing "Ragtime Ramble" and "Shorting Bread" all day (I always loved the "Shorting Bread" song - nice and hypnotic after a while).

Looks like it will be a great site when they get all systems up and running. Like this site, maybe a good place to learn without having to empty your wallet. Thanks for the link. John

hmm the site recommends using only the thumb, index and middle fingers for fingerpicking.
I was trained to play with my thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. Do you think I should keep my own habit? |

In acoustic guitar, there are no fixed rules. We need only think of Merle Travis playing with only 2 fingers. The use of three fingers is the most common in fingerpicking but if you feel comfortable with using 4 then 4. Will be your style.
Pay attention when you use the thumbpick with palm-muting, in this case playing with 4 fingers is relly difficult. Last edited by nicolajazz; 07-07-2009 at 01:50 AM. |

Django Reinhardt got by mostly with 2 fingers.

I agree, sometimes muting and using all 4 fingers is just "the sound"...I can't reproduce the same sound using any other combination. I find this works best on a narrower fingerboard ( at least for my hand/finger configuration)

If you play with thumbpick and palm muting on 4 string to use the ring is difficult and even useless. For beginners it is better to start with three fingers and then, when you become good, add the ring if you want.
I also use the ring in some fingerpicking songs, but do not ever recommend to a beginner. I instead recommend using 4 fingers for fingerstyle. |

I'm probably not as good as 90% of you but I use all 5 right hand fingers since I don't see why I should be limited to less than the number that I have.

Great site......Thanks!!
I had injured my right hand index finger a couple of years ago and now I have no feeling in it. I got used to playing without it and can play everything I used to play with the index using my middle finger. Bottom line is that you can use whatever works and sounds good to you.
