00:00:03.460 --> 00:00:04.995 align:center
As you will see in this

00:00:05.116 --> 00:00:06.167 align:center
course, there are a lot of

00:00:06.247 --> 00:00:07.560 align:center
fingerpicking patterns, but when

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:08.913 align:center
you boil them down to the

00:00:09.074 --> 00:00:10.608 align:center
essentials, a lot of them share

00:00:10.649 --> 00:00:11.900 align:center
the same basic patterns.

00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:13.511 align:center
To give you a nice catalogue

00:00:13.592 --> 00:00:15.264 align:center
and a big variety of patterns,

00:00:15.285 --> 00:00:17.320 align:center
here are 25 classic picking patterns

00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:18.782 align:center
that I've seen used over and

00:00:18.904 --> 00:00:20.040 align:center
over again in music.

00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:21.837 align:center
Some more than others, but learning

00:00:21.878 --> 00:00:23.538 align:center
different variations and different styles will

00:00:23.558 --> 00:00:23.720 align:center
help

00:00:23.700 --> 00:00:25.760 align:center
you massively become more fluent and

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:27.597 align:center
more versatile as a fingerstyle guitar

00:00:27.618 --> 00:00:27.880 align:center
player.

00:00:27.860 --> 00:00:29.554 align:center
So whenever you maybe lost some

00:00:29.594 --> 00:00:31.570 align:center
inspiration, just feel free to pick

00:00:31.630 --> 00:00:32.860 align:center
one of these out and

00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.374 align:center
use them for your own music,

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:35.888 align:center
or just when you feel like

00:00:35.969 --> 00:00:37.180 align:center
practicing some different patterns.

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:38.281 align:center
This is perfect.

00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:39.370 align:center
I will be playing the picking

00:00:39.411 --> 00:00:41.109 align:center
pattern over the same four chords

00:00:41.150 --> 00:00:42.140 align:center
all the time, so you

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:44.417 align:center
can see how it affects the

00:00:44.458 --> 00:00:46.090 align:center
picking pattern when we change chord

00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:47.480 align:center
shapes, maybe to six

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:48.704 align:center
strings and to five strings and

00:00:48.724 --> 00:00:49.580 align:center
what happens with them.

00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:51.232 align:center
So I'll be playing them fast

00:00:51.313 --> 00:00:52.848 align:center
and slowly one time, and then

00:00:52.888 --> 00:00:54.100 align:center
maybe say a few words about

00:00:54.080 --> 00:00:54.941 align:center
them if it's relevant.

00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:56.740 align:center
So let's go.

00:00:56.720 --> 00:00:57.966 align:center
We start out with number one,

00:00:58.006 --> 00:01:00.899 align:center
Lazy Afternoon, and this features the

00:01:00.959 --> 00:01:05.600 align:center
percussive slap.

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:21.974 align:center
Next up, second eighth, and here

00:01:21.994 --> 00:01:22.925 align:center
we see a picking pattern that

00:01:23.006 --> 00:01:24.340 align:center
changes over the chord,

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:25.762 align:center
so picking pattern one isn't the

00:01:25.803 --> 00:01:26.960 align:center
same as picking pattern two.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.220 align:center
The picking pattern spans over an

00:01:28.383 --> 00:01:29.420 align:center
entire bar.

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.931 align:center
Next up, number three, Stop This

00:01:53.195 --> 00:01:53.600 align:center
Slap.

00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:55.064 align:center
Based on a famous picking pattern

00:01:55.104 --> 00:02:07.660 align:center
we all know, I guess.

00:02:17.820 --> 00:02:19.434 align:center
Next up, the secret chord, and

00:02:19.495 --> 00:02:21.573 align:center
it's played in a 12 eighth

00:02:21.594 --> 00:02:22.340 align:center
time signature.

00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:24.298 align:center
One, two, three, four, five, six,

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:25.656 align:center
seven, eight, nine, ten, and after

00:02:25.899 --> 00:02:25.980 align:center
all.

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.720 align:center
Next up, Picking in the Wind.

00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:56.772 align:center
This started out as a very

00:02:56.914 --> 00:02:58.768 align:center
famous picking exercise, turned into a

00:02:59.353 --> 00:03:00.280 align:center
very famous song.

00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.120 align:center
Next up, sixteenth, Flow.

00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.700 align:center
Next up, Hop Hop.

00:04:20.260 --> 00:04:22.040 align:center
Next up, the other side.

00:04:44.140 --> 00:04:46.640 align:center
Next up, Happy Vibe.

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:07.359 align:center
Next up, Why Carolina, with again

00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.075 align:center
the slap and some tricky patterns

00:05:09.116 --> 00:05:09.600 align:center
going on.

00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:10.401 align:center
Check it out.

00:05:30.460 --> 00:05:34.320 align:center
Next up, Fruishantastic.

00:05:55.640 --> 00:05:57.237 align:center
Next up, two over three, and

00:05:57.258 --> 00:05:57.925 align:center
this is going to mean that

00:05:57.965 --> 00:05:59.017 align:center
the bass is going to play

00:05:59.098 --> 00:05:59.340 align:center
three

00:05:59.320 --> 00:06:00.396 align:center
notes at the same time the

00:06:00.437 --> 00:06:01.980 align:center
melody plays two notes.

00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:06.632 align:center
It sounds

00:06:07.177 --> 00:06:07.620 align:center
like this.

00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.158 align:center
Next up, Up and Down, and

00:06:25.300 --> 00:06:26.776 align:center
the name speaks for itself, I

00:06:26.816 --> 00:06:27.200 align:center
guess.

00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:53.540 align:center
Next up, Bubbly.

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:16.920 align:center
Next up, Accordion.

00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:44.980 align:center
Next up, Buckingham.

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:46.476 align:center
This is a tricky picking exercise

00:07:46.517 --> 00:07:47.912 align:center
where the melody is playing three

00:07:47.972 --> 00:07:48.720 align:center
notes on top,

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.061 align:center
going down, while the thumb is

00:07:51.101 --> 00:07:52.900 align:center
keeping an alternating thumb going.

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:21.939 align:center
Next up, a classic one, two,

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:24.160 align:center
three, a three, four time signature.

00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:47.663 align:center
Next up, Croissant, played in a

00:08:47.765 --> 00:08:49.120 align:center
sixth eighth time signature.

00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:51.800 align:center
One, two, three, four, five, six.

00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:16.840 align:center
Next up, the Trampoline.

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:51.200 align:center
Next up, the Arpeggiator, playing arpeggios.

00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:18.040 align:center
Next up, the Four Finger Sink.

00:10:43.400 --> 00:10:45.500 align:center
Next, four by three.

00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.380 align:center
Next up, Offbeatastic.

00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:46.461 align:center
We're almost there.

00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:56.940 align:center
Here is The Noob.

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.380 align:center
And the last one, Good Rhythms.

00:12:39.780 --> 00:12:41.121 align:center
And there we are.

00:12:41.260 --> 00:12:43.342 align:center
25 cool picking patterns to play

00:12:43.362 --> 00:12:45.020 align:center
in every song you wish.

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:47.484 align:center
Different time signatures, different picking

00:12:47.524 --> 00:12:47.909 align:center
patterns,

00:12:47.969 --> 00:12:48.940 align:center
different variations.

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:50.481 align:center
Anyway, it's a lot of fun.

00:12:50.560 --> 00:12:51.481 align:center
So check them out.

00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:52.221 align:center
Enjoy.
