T-BONE'S ENDLESS FREE GUITAR LESSONS & TIPS TO HELP U LEARN QUICK-
Learn to play with and without a guitar pick- You will find that your guitar picks will magically disappear from time to time and you cannot find a guitar pick to save your life. Dont even waste time looking for one, instead learn to play without one in these times of despair. In classical style guitar you use your rh thumb for low strings 6,5,4 or low E, A and D and your first (index) finger for 3rd string, 2nd (middle) finger for 2nd string and 3rd (ring) finger for 1st string (high E string). By learning basic classical guitar fingering you will develop your right hand fingers to bring out individual notes within chords. When playing scales without a guitar pick, alternate your right hand 1st and 2nd (index and middle) fingers. Learning some classical guitar will also help you to learn to read music and Jazz cheat sheets.
When you do have your guitar pick- I like to also play using a guitar pick and middle, ring and pinky right hand fingers. I believe its important to develop your rh Pinky finger as much as the other fingers. When playing with a guitar pick your thumb and index finger holds the guitar pick and plays on 6,5,4 strings and your middle finger plays 3rd string, ring finger plays 2nd string and you use your pinky finger to play 1st string(high E string). This allows you to accent the low strings louder and is way more convenient when playing with a guitar pick. So if you cant find a guitar pick you wont be immobilized and not be able to play. When playing scales with a guitar pick alternate up and down stroke-down, up, down, up, etc.You will develop your favorite and best right hand techniques. I believe its good to know them all. Some guitarists in jazz use the rh thumb (or a guitar pick) only to play chords and scales or different combinations. They use alot of hammer-ons and pull-offs so they dont pick every note. You could develop your thumb to do an upstroke-some bass player do this.You will have your favorite and probably one you are the best at. Its good to know them all though. You might develop your own way but learn these ways as a starting point to develop and utilize all fingers.
