Folk Guitar Fingerstyle
Pattern one on D chord

By adding a second bass note
(alternate bass on the A string),
the pattern will sound more interesting. The alternating bass with the thumb is a main feature of this fingerstyle.

D Chord
Here you’ll find examples of acoustic fingerstyle patterns based on the chord of D.
This will give a good introduction, for those beginning folk guitar, of what can be achieved with just
one chord. When more chords are used and extras are added, such as fills and bass lines, the patterns
can become quite complex but more interesting to play and listen to.
Although the examples may seem rather simple, when played at full speed and with extras, can sound very impressive but it’s best to learn to play the examples slowly first!
