FINGER STYLES

 Guitar Finger styles are very popular to this day, and have been a product of Folk and traditional styles as they employ a very natural feel .

The  approach to the 6 strings is by employing the thumb to  play the Bass strings and the fingers to play the top strings.

This means that while the thumb is playing the down strokes the fingers are playing the upstrokes,  meaning that up to 5 notes can be sounded  simultaneously, to play one after another or as an “arpeggio”.

With regard to the right hand position and its position on the strings the

“ classical “ position gives the most freedom and probably the better response from the instrument, also available is the “Anchor” position and the “ Muting “ position, together with long nails on the right hand to make contact with the strings and thumb picks, finger pics, metal or plastic and even acrylic nails can be used.

Happy Playing
