  now here is where i shine after playing ani difranco style angry folk rock for the last 5 years..I soooooo love the finger picking..once you get the hang of it...It is amazeing how much sex you can put into a 3 cord progression.I also love to use the thumb to pop the bass note for a lil flare.......helps with sustain of note for hammer ons and pull offs..I only hope one day my leads shine as well.......great lesson muris as allways

  Thanks!!
  Yeah,using of thumb is really helpful,not only in stuff like in this lesson
  but while playing lead and solo licks as well.

  I guess in a solo the only way i have found the thumb to be helpfull is to hold the pick lol..I know probly harmonics as well ....but for some odd reason i use the knuckle of my first finger to do harmonics with....guess im a odd duck..but if you would explain other ways.....that would be great

  It's tied note,notation stuff.
  But take Guitar Pro file and you wont be seeing it in tabs there.

In this lesson you'll find some interesting patterns for right hand fingering.
They all look and sound almost the same but you'll notice the difference.
It's also great memory lesson,to remember when to play which patter.
And now we have pinky in action too:)
So if you have nasty fingers,this is your chance!!!:)

P.S. Whole groove is sort of swing/shuffle which means that timing is quite important here.
