We wanted to create an exercise that proved fingerstyle guitar doesn’t have to be insanely difficult. So, start by grabbing a chord. In this example, we’ll use a C chord. Assign your fingers — your thumb will cover the A and D string. Meanwhile, the index will cover the G string and the middle finger will cover the B string. Play the A and D strings with your thumb, alternating strings for every downbeat.

Next, start by pinching your thumb and index to strike both strings simultaneously. For the next beat, pinch your thumb and middle finger. Continue doing this until you feel comfortable with the pattern. Finally, stagger the fingerpicking. Instead of playing notes simultaneously, strike the bass strings with your thumb on the downbeats. Then, strike the G and B strings with your index and middle finger on the offbeats respectively.

That's it! Easy, right?
