Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar

      

This video contains examples of previous patterns, chords and hammer-ons

So far we have used just three patterns and one chord. Just think what you could do with more patterns and more chords plus fills, riffs and bass progressions.

Alternating bass notes are a feature of this style and each chord has its own bass note (or root) plus the alternating bass note which is usually a 5th away. For example, if C is the bass note of the C chord, then the alternate bass note will be G ... a fifth degree away.
