Fingerpick Like A Worship Leader ---- With Only 3 Fingers! [EASY]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 фев 2020
- In this video I show you how to fingerpick like many of the worship leaders you see. The next time you watch a video for a song that is either entirely played with fingerpicking or has parts of the song wherein fingerpicking is highlighted and showcased, watch how active the worship leader's thumb is. The thumb almost doubles as the fourth 'picking finger'. It is 'assigned' to three different strings: the low E string, A string, and D string. The Pointer finger is 'assigned' to the G string. And the middle finger is 'assigned' to the B string. There is usually very little movement of the 'picking fingers' (thumb, pointer, and middle finger) and the actual hand resting on the guitar and strings with this method (one of the benefits -- it keeps your 'picking fingers' relatively in the same place and position). This minimizes unnecessary finger and hand movements which can result in you taking your hand and 'picking fingers' entirely off the strings in between chord changes. It makes fingerpicking extremely easy and efficient, but also very pretty and pleasant sounding.
Note: As mentioned in the lesson, this isn't the 'only' or 'best' way to fingerpick. However, I would argue that it's 'one' of the most easy ways to fingerpick for worship music and this specific genre. Also, a lot of ' ' in the description above, sorry about that :)

Thank you so much. I've just found this channel because you were demonstrating dear God by Cory Astbury. I'm a relatively new beginner, or rather slow learner haha. I have started learning guitar lessons in my late 50's because I want to play whilst I'm privately worshipping. Can't wait to get to my guitar to start practising this technique. God bless you and your ministry 🎶🙏
Dee! That’s awesome! Glad the lessons have helped you 😀😀 never too late to learn a new skill especially one that allows you to worship the Lord whenever and wherever you want 😎 keep me posted on your progress!

Awesome!! Love hearing that, friend! 🙌✝️
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic I was scheduled to play the guitar at a women’s meeting today. This simple finger pick you taught in this video and I learned yesterday was GREAT for “filler” music in between songs, subtle yet beautiful! Thank you so much. I pray God blesses you double!🙏🙏🙏
@@shannonmariekennedy Wow that's so great to hear!!!! What church are you at?!
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic that day I was playing at a Women’s Meeting.
However, this will be useful at our Celebrate Recovery Program as well, during the altar call. Thank you so so much!!!
This may be a simple tip but it is powerful for me!
@@shannonmariekennedy awesome 🙌
Loved this, thanks!
Awesome, Christine :) :)
i like this alternate style picking...fits my personality well hehe
haha awesome!!! :)
Love your content it's my second video here I got to know you as you taught Tasha Cobb's He knows my name ....love your cool look too the eye wear hair is solid and buff🍻
Awesome friend! Glad the lessons have helped you so much :)
Bro this so helpful thank you so much!!!!!
Awesome hommie!! Where you from man?!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome friend!
I love this ts so helpful God bless you
Awesome :) :) Glad it helped you! 🙂🙂
Having shattered my right hand and losing the ability to use my ring and pinky finger, this is great!! But, to have to go from playing deep, complex classical pieces like Asturias, to a more reductionist approach. Kinda depressing, but its better than no guitar. Thanks man!
Ahhh I'm sorry to hear that man :( I'm glad you're still able to do a little bit with this reductionist method :)
MORE FINGER PICKING SO GOOD
Haha dude that's awesome! I'm glad it's been helpful for you!!
Great! But how to count? Is this something like 1&2& for the pattern and then 2&4& rest (pause)?
Great job
Thank you!!! :)
I am so practicing this.
Nice!
Thank you 😊
Heck yeah! :)
Thank you so much for this. I play in a small church group and I suck at fingerpicking. I end up using my pic to arpeggio. I am committing to 20 minutes a day of practicing this technique until I am comfortable with it.
haha bro I love your gut-level honesty: "I suck at fingerpicking" haha! Glad you found this lesson though man. This will definitely help you. Any time I finger-pick, I use what I teach in the lesson. It's so easy after a while. I can just about guarantee if you are spending 10-15 minutes/day for the next few weeks working on this you will see dramatic improvements! Keep me posted on your progress dude. Where are you from??
calgary, alberta @@GarrettNoganAcoustic
@@kneedeepinit cool bro!
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic 3 days in and a few observations. It is hard to have an inactive ring finger on the high e string. Whenever I think of it, the finger tries to pluck a string and it messes me up. It is getting better.
I play the 4 not progression multiple times starting on the a chord to g and then Am to Gm.
Tomorrow, I am going to try to play a song slowly but so far, it has been all about muscle memory.
I have made great progress in 3 days
@@kneedeepinit dude! Fantastic to hear bro! Yes, it's all about muscle memory. That ring finger wants to come along for the ride early on, but once you get it locked on to the high E string as your "anchor", you will be smooth sailing! And then eventually, you can add that ring finger in to pluck the high E string to bring in some more notes and flavor!! Your strategy is good...keep practicing and then adding in some songs to make it practical and fun! I'll look for another update next week man!! :)
Great advices! 👌
Thanks man! Where you from bro??!
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic Roumania
@ Awesome bro!
Thank you
Sure thing man!! :)
Thank you for this! Please do a tutorial of Fountains - Josh Baldwin!
Hi Jenny! You're welcome! Glad it helped!! Oh man, I LOVE that song from Josh Baldwin!
Now, I'm gonna be playing "When Death Was Arrested" for days. LOL
😂
Help! I am new to this. I thought the notes are E A D G B E
Where is C ?!
Thank you Soo so much 🙌🙌🙏this really helped alot, are there only certain chords you fingerstyle with??, if so which ones are they
Awesome! Glad it helped you!! And nope, I fingerpick with all different chords. The same picking pattern applies more or less to all of them :)
Nice vid, you wouldn’t mind doing a tutorial on psalm 23 by people and songs?
Dude GREAT recommendation!!
Ah thank you
You’re welcome friend!
Hi there, it is possible to remove the words on the screen while your talking, i can't see how your fingers doing on the strings. The words blocks it. Thank you.
Hi! I think you have the subtitles or closed captioning turned on or something...
NICE❤️❤️❤️❤️....after I have stolen your finger picking style I will be playing you lalabys at your window
lol that sounds a little creepy but I'm glad you figured out the picking style! haha
where can I find those chords you just breezed through. G and C I already know.
Hey brother! Check out this lesson here: ruclips.net/video/egX53GkQzoY/видео.html
What do you use to tune your guitar
I have a built-in tuner on this guitar, but on other guitars I’ll use a Snark tuner that clips on to the headstock.
Can you do a tutorial on Not in a Hurry by Will Reagan, United Pursuit please? God bless.
Yes, for sure! Love that song, too :) Stay tuned!
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic Awesome! Thank you!
Awsome
Thanks bro! Glad it helped ya :)
I really struggle to use my other fingers if picking. I always use my thumb and pointer finger.
Keep practicing :)
Could you work a pattern similar to this for a song in 6/8?
Yep absolutely!
2:37 I have watch many you tube videos but am literally learning the Pinky and ring fingure rule from you ..no wander I could miss strings caz my hand was moving above the strings
Yessss! Exactly my friend! Use the ring finger and pinky finger to stabilize your hand position. You can also use your ring finger to pick the high e-string as well to mix up the sound :)
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic thanks for always taking time to reply us 🙏very humbled
@@victorrubahimbya1124 of course :)
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic if we want to use ring finger to pluck high e, wont the pinky mute it if it's locked in the stabilize position?
@@samwamui great question. Yes, you will have to let go of the pinky on that high E string when you pluck with the ring finger :)
I knew something reminded me of the build my life intro!
haha you know it dude! You play hoops??!!
Garrett Nogan yes sir I do!
High school / college?? I used to have a wicked cross-over and deadly three-ball back in the day haha
Garrett Nogan high school! Hoping to play college. That’s awesome!

For sure!! :)
Thanks 🎁🎇🎆
❤❤
🙌
So... I got the 3 fingerpicking method...especially the one you started with, I wasn't able to catch up to the more simple picking pattern you demonstrated ~9:28. (And yh I don't think you have been on IG for a bit...hehehe, not an attack...just saying lol)
haha I know!! I need to up my game on IG!!!
The strings actually have numbers. The high D is the six string below D is the first string.
👊
Hey bro could you do a tutorial on There Is a King by Elevation, not just the normal one, the one with the fast cool chord changes
Hey man! Not sure what you mean the one with the fast cool chord changes? lol i have one up for the original song...
Garrett Nogan sorry bro I hardly know what I mean either😂😂 It’s the normal original song but one of the guitars switches chords like every word and it sounds really cool. Elevation Resources has a tutorial but they don’t explain it at all it’s more of a play through
@@kalebspangler haha hilarious dude! I can take a look at it but no guarantees...I usually stick to the easy stuff :)
Garrett Nogan alright cool thanks! No worries if you can’t do it, my fingers hurt just watching the video🤣
@@kalebspangler just checked it out man. Super nice guitar stuff. It's in a different tuning tho so that's gonna be a hard no on my end haha
Hey man, what are those glasses? Brand/model? :)
Hey bro - I actually have no idea! I've had them for years!
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic Thanks for the reply! Bummer! They looks absolutely sick! :D Keep doing great vids!

@@GarrettNoganAcoustic Sweden!
@@OhShrike Cool bro!
what is that you have tied around the guitar in front of the first fret?
It's a pick holder :)
Your grace is enough song plzz
Hey brother!!! Dude I would be happy to do one on this song, but it would take me a long time with all of the other requests I currently have. Did you see this tutorial for the song though: ruclips.net/video/nf3ZS1vHlkM/видео.html If you need help lemme know :)
@@GarrettNoganAcoustic Thnq Brother and I also want the song I am a friend of God song also plzzz
Cool cool! On the list!!
Hi Garrett. Due to an accident in’85, I lost the tip of my left index finger and it bends at the hand/finger joint. I’m trying to learn lefty but I’m right-handed. So strumming is awkward and I have no pointer finger. I’m easily discouraged should I just move everything down, thumb, middle, ring and hook bottom string with pinkie? Thanks for any suggestions. Randy
Yes usually the thumb plays the top 3 strings EAD called the Bass strings and the fingers pick the bottom 3 or high strings GBE he uses his bottom 2 fingers for a plant to stabilize his hand and you most certainly can use the other fingers and plant only the pinkie that is kinda standard for finger picking so you will be perfectly fine Have fun , I used to get frustrated so easily because I have a lot of medical issues such as back shoulder and neck issues and now carpal tunnel but I ran across a video of a guy who plays with his feet because he has no arms on u tube (just type it in and it will come up ) and I said if he can work around his issues I most surely can he’s so inspirational and made me realize every one has things going on and that’s why guitar is AWESOME because if you can’t play a chord like a C or F in a standard way you can just find an alternative place to play it that makes it easier for you also using a Capo makes it easy to change things to open chords and a key that you can play they are cheap about 6-12 dollars so Rock on and Praise God
@@sandilandi9801 thanks for the reply, it gives me some hope. I’ve played drum set since I was 13, 68 now. I play drums in church’s contemporary service for 20 years, trying to open different can of worms with guitar. It’s been hard starting over but it seems like the right thing to do. Thanks for support.
Do you need nails for this?
Nope! I keep my nails nice and short! :)
Ih I am new here
Awesome! Good to meet you :)
Finger picking like a worship leader!?...huh...
yep :)
run to the Father
Hi Tonya! Here is a lesson for that one :) ruclips.net/video/gico_SSHutk/видео.html
you aren't teaching finger picking a very good way for beginners. Have you heard of Travis picking? The lesson is confusing and is lacking in clear information. I am not trying to pick on you and as a Christian I love you like a brother. Where did you get that ideas that the thumb doubles? Actually it dosen't. Keep working on it all but remember people are being affected by what you are telling them and I your telling them the wrong thing what do you think God thinks of that God bless you and may you do well in all that you endeavor for Christ. Beginning finger picking should always be taught with a repeating pattern changes in rhythm comes later.
Hmmmm… I kindly disagree…
I have to be honest, I’ve been listening to SEVERAL RUclips videos on simple beginner fingerpicking this morning, and all seemed too complicated.
Garrett’s video was the only one where I finally understood and got it!
His way of explaining it was PERFECT for me, unlike the others.
I thank you for sharing your gift Garrett! 🙏
Thank you so much for this awesome video! This is by far my favourite channel for anything guitar learning related. 🙂
Awww that's awesome!! So happy to hear that and so happy it's helping you :) :) Stay in touch!!!
