Developing Finger + Thumb Independence for Fingerstyle or Hybrid-Picking Style Players
Developing Finger + Thumb Independence for Fingerstyle or Hybrid-Picking Style Players
Hey Friends,
This lesson is designed to help develop finger+thumb independence for fingerstyle or hybrid-picking style players.
In this lesson, Nashville based studio/touring drummer Nate Felty and I came up with an easy way to practice various rhythms while simaltanioulsy playing a pulsing bass line with the thumb.
In the accompanying video (link in download) I discuss how to practice these exercises as well as breaking down a few of the rhythms.
**This lesson is designed for someone who is at least a little familiar with reading sheet music rhythms. If you don't have experience with sheet music but are still interested in learning about this topic, reach out for a private lesson! Reading music is not required to develop this technique.
