  Independent thumb…..gotta get serious!

  Posted by Mrfredsporty on August 5, 2022 at 4:36 am

  I am a fingerpicker and I keep saying I want to get serious about developing an independent thumb but I always end up at the threshold and never quite enter the room.For other fingerstyle folks how do I get to the point where I have alternating thumb and fingers that play the melody separately like Dave Hamburger or all the blues pickers. Its frustratiing. I want to get there help!

  @Mrfredsporty , if you want to play like Dave Hamburger, start pulling up his music tutorials. He has them out there. and practice, practice a lot. You’ll get it.

    It’s the hard work that I want shirk(me being basically a lazy bum). I was just watching David hamburger a minute ago. I’ve got to get my toes wet and then make myself dive off the high board
