Subject: RE: Help: Learning to finger pick
Wyo,

I would second Rick's suggestion as its the way I learned to play originally. As you learn this movement by constant playing while watching TV, listening to the radio, et al. you will eventually tune out everything that sounds normal. When you make a mistake, or better still when you do something inspired it will jump out at you and you can search out what you did that was wrong, or neat as the case may be.

I would add this tho' practice before a mirror and watch what your fingers do. This will help in learning economy of motion with yours hands. That will add to the fluidity that Rick mentioned.
