Fingerpicking Guitar Lesson for Beginners
With this Guitar Lessons for Beginners video, we'll show you how to apply basic fingerstyle or fingerpicking technique with basic major chords. We'll also show how beginners can improve chord changes when playing chord progressions.
Fingerstyle Technique Guitar Lesson for Beginners
Fingerstyle technique or ‘fingerpicking’ involves plucking the strings with the fingers instead of strumming with a pick or using the thumb. Basic Fingerstyle Technique involves using the first, second, and third fingers to pluck the top three strings of a chord while the bass note (fourth, fifth, or sixth string) is plucked with the thumb.
How to Fingerpick Chords
While fretting a ‘G’ chord with the left hand, position the right hand over the soundhole and align the fingers as follows: right hand thumb-sixth string, first finger-third string, second finger- second string, third finger-first string. (shown right) The first, second, and third fingers are now assigned to pluck the third, second, and first strings respectfully, while the thumb is assigned to pluck the bass note of the chord. The next step is to show how to fingerpick a ‘G’ chord arpeggio. How to Fingerpick Chords: Using the finger numbers assigned to the strings, fingerpick an arpeggio by plucking the string numbers in this order: ‘ 6 - 3 - 2-1-2-3'. Use the thumb to pluck the bass note with a downstroke, then use the fingers to pluck the top three strings using upstrokes.
Fingerstyle Technique
The same basic fingerstyle technique can be applied to any chord. The top three strings will always be plucked the same way with the same fingers. The only difference will be which bass note (fourth, fifth, or sixth string) the thumb plucks. The tabs below show the basic fingerstyle technique applied to all eight basic chords.

Chord Progressions for Guitar
Just about every song in any style of music is based on a chord progression. A progression is an arrangement of chords, and learning to play a basic chord progression on guitar will bring the beginning guitarist another step closer to start learning some basic guitar songs. This Paluzzi Guitar Lesson will show how to play a complete ‘G-C-D progression’ using fingerstyle technique on guitar.
Fingerstyle Tutorial for Guitar - ‘G-C-D’ Progression
The same basic fingerstyle technique introduced in this fingerpicking guitar lesson for beginners will be applied to each chord in this progression, so the entire arrangement can be written out using just chord symbols.
How to Change Chords Faster on Guitar
The challenge in playing the ‘G-C-D Progression’ will be changing chords. Developing the ability to change chords swiftly will take time and practice. One approach to improve the speed of a chord change is to focus on where each individual finger shifts to. For example, when switching from a ‘G’ to a ‘C’ chord, focus on how the third finger alone shifts from the first string/third fret of the ‘G’ chord to the fifth string/third fret bass note of the ‘C’ chord.
