It requires a bit of effort to sit down and write out what goes on when you fingerpick, and it is useful for everyone who fingerpicks to see what others are doing--so I appreciate what everyone has done here--

My point is more of an advisory to initial poster and other beginning pickers that there is a lot more material here than you will be able to process--I am not going to get into a discussion of which directions are incomplete and which are inaccurate--but suffice it to say that it is very, very difficult to explain movements of the hands and fingers in a way that is both comprehensive and easy to follow--
