Finger picking guitar - Video

So in "Love in Vain," there are two separate parts, but they're both played on the same guitar. So I'm gonna demonstrate that for you a little bit now. The first part is played with the thumb on the right hand, and it's just crotchets, so it goes something like this. (rhythmic guitar strumming music) And that just loops around, around, around. And then the second part is chords, and that's played using fingerpicking, which is the fingers on the right hand. So here we go. Hmm, 2, 3, 4. (rhythmic guitar music) So when we put those together, it sounds something a little bit like this. (gentle rhythmic guitar music).
