That’s a “Really Truly” nice small win @MikeGaurnier 👏👏 I too have been trying to work on finger picking since joining TAC, 11 months ago. In fact, I’d never done any finger picking before TAC. It’s a style of playing that I admire, but have had difficulty with execution to the point that I tend to shy away from it. I still have difficulty with using the thumb for alternating base while trying to get the other fingers to hit the right strings in the correct order with proper timing – I do much better with a flat pick. However, with last week’s (new) challenges and this week’s challenges all focusing on finger style playing, I found today’s lesson came together nicely for me – once I got the picking pattern down. Then I thought that just playing 2 chords for the entire piece was a little boring, so I started looking at other chords in the Em/G major scale to see if I could add to this, using that picking pattern – not just marking the challenge complete like I’d done in the past with other finger style lessons. So, yes, I’m seeing real progress in my journey with TAC, with thanks to this community and TAC members like you Mike, who help inspire others to get over their hurdles while outside of their comfort zone, and overcome.
