This contrasts with the conventional technique of strumming and playing single notes with a pick (aka flatpicking). For fingerpicking, you can use any type of guitar: acoustic steel-string, nylon-string classical, or electric. THE RIGHT HAND ‘The most common right-hand position is shown below Use a high wrist; arch your palm as if you were holding a ping-pong ball. Keep the thumb outside and away from the fingers, and let the fingers do the work rather than lifting your whole hand, The thumb generally plucks the bottom strings with downstrokes on the left side of the thumb and thumbnail. The other fingers pluck the higher strings using upstrokes with the fleshy tip of the fingers and fingernails. The thumb and fingers should pluck one string per stroke and not brush over several strings. Another picking option you may choose to use is called hybrid picking (a.k.a plectrum-style fingerpicking). Here, the pick is usually held between the thumb and first finger, and the three remaining fingers are assigned to pluck the higher strings. ‘THE LEFT HAND. ‘The left-hand fingers are numbered 1 through 4: Be sure to keep your fingers arched, with each joint bent; if they flatten out across the strings, they will deaden the sound when you fingerpick. As a general rule, let the strings ring as long, as possible when playing fingerstyle.Across the Universe Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney Drop D tuning: (low to high) D-A-D-G-B-E.
