Thanks Jonathan, this is really helpful to me. Fingerpicking is a guitar goal of mine and given that I'm mostly using both of the basic strum patterns you've taught me, adding the finger picking version makes complete sense. Thanks!

Hey man your a good teacher, most who have already arrived at good playing forget how hard it may be for a beginner and teach way to fast, so it becomes very frustrating....keep up the good work....😎
I left a thank you out. It is so simple and it will come natural to people. Your timing will be great too because the fingers are keeping time. The only drawback, don’t give up your strumming! I picked every song to sing along with it for years and when I went back to start streaming, it was hard to find the right timing even here 4/4 time!! It was crazy, but I remember reading an article that Keb Mo had the exact same thing happen. He played finger style for so long, that when he had a tune that required strumming, he had to work at it. So I can still keep that strumming in your practices because as simple as it seems, if you don’t do it for a long time, you actually lose it and have to take a little time to get it back.
Really great lesson, you really simplified things and taught it very well. Thank you, Jonathan. God bless you ❤🙏🏽
wow, its awesome i'm a beginner in guitar and i would like to thank you for sharing your skills here in KZread. God bless you.

Nice and fun! Simple is best to have fun! 💐🌠💐🌠
Good to see both 4/4 and 3/4 timing
I thought I recognized the voice on this lesson! You made all kinds of instructional videos but never showed your face. Maybe I’m way behind but this is the first time I’ve seen your face. You are a fantastic player and instructor! I think the reason your videos didn’t have a billion sales or a billion views is because it’s so hard to build a relationship with people when you don’t see their face. People usually gravitate to likeable people. But, man, you seem AND look, like a great guy! And you’re easily as good as the top guitar teachers on KZread. These easy to play, easy to understand, free videos, should bring tons of people to your page. I wish more people would throw in some singing with the lesson. Like how to play and sing some of the more basic, rock, blues, country hits. Keep up the good work!
Just subbed. Great lessons 🎶🎶🎶

Hi Jonathon. I would find it easier to comprehend these patterns if you had on-screen graphics showing the string/finger relationship. On the 4/4 pattern, what is the string order when playing a D chord? Is it G, D, B, G?
Thanks a lot
Wow just found this channel thank you

Thanks, Jonathon! This is great! I really love the emotion finger picking gives a song. Now all I need is a magic potion that makes my chord progressions smooth and fast. I'm still clumsy with progressions to C and D. Oddly, I find I hit chords more accurately when I don't watch my fretting hand.

Fantastic ! My friend who's a Bass player in Detroit always laughs at me He called them ghost chords. I can reach something cuz I'm small handed or just make up a tune that's what sounded exactly like the time and it's always worked. This is excellent thank you for sharing
