I would like to add just one more piece of advice to any aspiring fingerpickers reading this. If you are still able to unlearn bad habits, try to ensure that you do not rest any part of your right hand on the guitar body. Do not rest your pinkie on the pick-guard, nor your wrist on the bridge. It will be dificult at first, but your eventual progress will be so much greater.

And to preempt protests from afficionados, yes I know that there are many great players who play while resting their picking hands, but they are great despite this bad habit , not because of it. If they had learnt total right hand freedom, they would be greater still.
