Howdy, friends! A new fingerstyle lesson today, where I'll answer an audience question about fingerpicking (using Travis style) in 3/4 time. Steve wrote in asking about Paradise by John Prine, and how to go about playing it fingerstyle, given its waltz rhythm. In my video lesson, I give my answer – and also show how you can use these same techniques to play Amazing Grace using fingerstyle - the tabs for which are included in my 6-page practice sheet (PDF) for this lesson. Enjoy!
