I have to admit (not trying to be mean) but I hear alot of guitarists that only pick a certain pattern over and over on every song. I like it when people adapt a new pattern to express emotion. I agree practice the fingerpicking until it feels natural. Then think for yourself when you do it. Don't just fall back on a learned pattern. I know I am guilty everyone is at some point. You may be out and someone requests something that you are not really sure of or you really dont like but know.Then you kinda fall back on a cliche pattern to get through while mentally shutting down. That is my point I get you stop thinking and feeling and just play. You have to be very comfortable with fingerpicking to be able to adapt but in the end it makes for a better feel. Just my opinion. Oh yeah HI everyone it has been a while but I am back.
