Explanation: The pattern displayed
above utilizes the thumb, the index and the middle fingers.
In the notated section, on the top, the letter P is used to
indicate the use of the thumb, the letter I is used to
indicate the use of the index finger and the letter M is used
to indicate the use of the middle finger. The chord charts
above them show the chords that are used in this exercise.
This is the first one of three patterns used to teach
fingerstyle patterns that use the thumb, index and middle
fingers.
After learning these, feel free to create and experiment with
variations of your own. Below the notation section is
the tablature. If you are unfamiliar with how guitar
