This has step by step finger picking
patterns that you can see and hear and Copyright © G.N.E.B.
play along to in tablature, it is meant for

serious training, but is very easy to use
To be a good finger picker you need to develop finger picking

patterns. Now this is the one area that most people who do fail,
will fail in this area, quite simply because they do not practise good
patterns nor practice the patterns enough
The key here is Repetition
The patterns need to become spontaneous, and automatic, to
enable highly developed Finger Muscle Memory
You need a variety of useful patterns that develop the finger
mechanics across the board. The ultimate aim I believe is that you
can play ideas you hear for yourself almost instantly because your
fingers know how to find the sounds you are looking for, this comes
from repetition of the finger patterns and of course experience in
playing. This manual is designed to do just that

TABLATURE A quick introduction on how
Tablature works
Tablature is a very quick and easy way to learn
tunes for finger picking on any stringed fretted
instrument
Tablature can be understood in a few minutes and
is ideal for altered tunings too
Tablature is not new, it has been around since
about the fifteen hundreds in varying forms
DIAGRAM A The numbers shown on the strings
represent the fret space held. Study all the
diagrams below then work with the exercises
