I just turned 70 and have a similar story to you, I also learned a few chords at the age of 14 but never kept it up, even though I've had guitars in and out of my life over the years but I could never apply myself and I've always wanted to learn finger picking because I'm bored with strumming and the style of music I always used to play, which was pop/rock... I hope you've got a success story to share with us... I guess it's never too late to learn...

I believe the fingers are known as P (thumb) l (1st finger) M (middle finger) and A (ring finger). I am sure that you have heard many times that you are an excellent guitar teacher and I thank you for your excellent lesson.

Thanks for the lesson Jonathan! You have a great teaching demeanor! I just turned 67, and music has always been a passion of mine, from a garage band in the 60's to now. I'm an average guitar player, and am still learning. I can finger pick a little, but self taught, and developed some bad habits and muscle memory. I hope with your help I can become a better player. I know from experience, it takes lots of practice and patience. I'm going to try to stay with this. There's nothing more beautiful than a good finger picked tune! Thanks for your efforts!

My first search this morning brought up this video and It is wonderful. It adds to my current lessons and opens up so many new doors to music.

Great lesson. Thank you. I'll practice that as I'm isolating xxx

Fantastic teacher! I’ve played guitar for years but never attempted finger picking, It’s about time I learned - especially if I’m trying to play John Prine and Bob Dylan songs. I really appreciate your teaching style, thank you!

These half-hour lessons are great! Go to most professional music instructors, and they would charge about $20-$25 for lesson's like these! You can tell he's taught many remedial students like myself, so he breaks it down properly, haha. Definitely worth a donation! Thanks

Thank you Jonathan for lifting the veil for me to have the confidence to begin fingerpicking guitar, which I have always wanted to learn and hope to do so now with a lot of practise. You are a gifted teacher godbless 🌀

Great job - I tried every youtube lesson for fingerpicking over the last few weeks but always came back to yours. What helped me is I wrote out the numbers- 6 3 4 2 on a large piece of paper and stuck it on the side of my filing cabinet beside my desktop computer- Each time I grab my guitar I spend five or ten minutes going through it, slow, but I know that eventually my brain will send the message to my fingers. Also found that since I started I can play my bass notes so much better now. Wish I had started this sooner.. Thanks again..

Hi Jonathan, keep up the good work, you inspired me and finger picking finally got into my head. I have been playing for about five or six years now, but you changed my vision of finger picking. Gilles Charron, Québec, Canada

Simple and precise tuition. My fingerpicking was not sounding great, being self taught. Now with your help I'm able to pick, albeit slowly, but it sounds melodic. Great vids.

Hi Peter, all progress begins with slow repetition. If you're patient, results will come. If you're pursuing the guitar on your own, think of yourself as "self-motivated." That's as valuable as a teacher !

Excellent lesson....you have a great teaching style.......

Your video is both informative and inspiring.Will practice now over the Xmas hols.Thank you Dave
