Fingerstyle Improvising

Learning both, a little bit at the same time! This is a fairly new instrument for me, and after playing a couple of years on electric, I can’t get enough of the way these nylon strings sing out!

Here’s a snippet of some chord and melodic improvising after an evening’s practice!

Sounding good there Chris. A nice bit of playing. I’ve not got a nylon guitar myself (yet) but they do sound nice.

Sounds very nice Chris, but be careful . Once you start with fingerstyle there is no way back :slight_smile:

Thank you @SgtColon and @Sebastian_Dewulf-Ortega ! It’s been irresistible so far, my poor electric misses me. :joy:

Also @SgtColon — is your handle a reference to Discworld? LOVE those books! I just read the Pratchett biography earlier this year. Wonderful stories and a fantastic life!

Very good fingerstyle Chris.

P.s Nothing Else Matters by Metallica is a good song to play if you enjoy fingerstyle.

It certainly is Chris. They are a great set of books, so so funny.

@K0874 Thanks!! I’ll have to try it out, can’t get more classic than Metallica! :metal:

Hello Chris, that sounded really sweet :blush:.
I’m also very fond of fingerstyle. I’m still a beginner and struggel a bit with it, but I love playing that way.
Thanks a lot for sharing :hugs:.

Thank you so much @NicoleKKB ! :blush:

Fingerstyle has been humbling, but so rewarding. I’m sure we’ll both come along with it as we keep at it! :clap:

Thank you kindly @Willsie!

Nice job!

Just a suggestion below.

I don’t know what your taste in music is but what might be a nice song to practice with for playing this method of guitar might be Something Stupid by Frank and Nancy Sinatra.

It’s easy chords so you get to concentrate on the bass/strum repetition.

Boy is this ever true !

Thanks for the suggestion @Mijoy! I love Sinatra, but wasn’t familiar with this tune before you recommended it. What a great song! Would definitely be a pleasant one to practice alongside.
