About the Lesson

Many guitarists forget that their right hand has fingers, too. They rarely use them... what a pity! One can make really beautiful music with the fingers/nails. I want to introduce you a bit into classical guitar style. I created a song that uses one single fingering pattern - very easy. I believe that you will be able to use your right hand fingers more often after experiencing the fact that it sounds not that bad and you are able to play like this.
The lesson is in the key of E minor and its tempo is around 120 bpm. Here we go.

The Lesson

The lesson starts with a fingering over the e minor chord. Use for the bass your thumb. Each other string has its own finger. The second bar is filled with the same pattern - this time over a D Maj9 chord (without 7) => D F# A E. In the next bar, we go back to e minor and then we switch to B Maj7add4.
