Hi fam,
Do you make time to work on your fingerstyle accuracy with your picking hand?
I’ve noticed this is one thing many students leave out of their practice—but it’s also one of the biggest game-changers for your playing.
In this latest video, I’m sharing my favorite exercise for building fingerstyle accuracy and coordination in your picking hand. It’s simple, but incredibly effective.
Give it a try and see how it fits into your daily practice routine. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results. Let me know how it goes.
See you soon,
Nate

Nate, Thanks for all the videos and exercises for fingerstyle picking. In just a short time of practice after watching the"4 fingerstyle songs everyone should know" and "want better fingerstyle start by fixing your thumb" I feel like I am making food progress on my fingerstyle picking. One of my practice song is "Minuet in G" and I also started working on "Classical Gas". Going slow and focusing on accuracy.
Oh yea. Congratulations on your baby girl!
