Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Brewster's Millions Of Rants with Fingerpicking In The Dark. As I shared here on RU-vid and also on Facebook, the power was out here for nearly 48-hours, and during that time I found myself sitting in the dark by candlelight, playing acoustic and nylon string guitars and music. This is directly related to what you'll find hiding in this episode - so let's dive in!
The fingerstyle workout featured in this lesson was something I wrote back when I was in high school, while taking classical guitar lessons from an instructor at a local university (with Mr. Renato Butturi). To be honest, I hadn't thought about or played through this piece in a very long time (a few decades ago), and this idea came back to me during the recent power outage, which was totally a déjà vu moment, to say the least.
The exercise itself contains a simple five chord progression based in open position, with a few extensions/alterations added to those chords, but the real action is what your fingerpicking hand will be doing throughout, as there are various arpeggio rolls, plucked octaves, leap-frog string skipping movements, and much more. I distinctly remember putting a number of the fingerstyle motions/movements into this exercise that I was working on at that time, which makes this idea a great fingerstyle and arpeggio-based workout, warmup, technique boost, and more!
Needless to say, if you've asked for more classical/fingerstyle lessons and material, are a guitarist looking to improve their fingerpicking technique and ability, are looking for something completely different to work on, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you!
