Etude in E Minor Fingerpicking Guitar Lesson

There’s really just two parts to Etude in E Minor and in this lesson we’ll learn how to play both. Throughout the piece, you are continually picking the 1st, 2nd and 3rd string with your ring, middle and index finger. As it’s such an integral skill to pick these strings with fluidity, it’s worth practising this in isolation to help develop your picking technique.
