Hello,
I wondered if anyone could help explain to me how do we know which finger (on right hand) to use when playing a fingerpicking style.
I'm trying to start with an easy song like Grandfather's Clock http://pdfminstrel.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/grandfathers_clock1.pdf
It looks easy enough to me to follow the notes on the tab. But I'm pretty sure I use the wrong fingers almost all the time.
Often times, I tend to just use my thumb for single note throughout the song. But I think it makes more sense to use index, middle, or even ring finger to move through the notes faster. But I just don't know which one to start with
Any suggestion would be much appreciated!
