Learn the fingerpick part from the verse of These Voices of Mine by tripfuse.The Riff
This Fingerpick Pattern is heard in the 2nd and 3rd verse of These Voices of Mine
First thing to note, I fingerpick this on the recording but you can play it with a pick if you wan to play it but don't have any interest in learning to fingerpick.
This lesson will show you how to play the fingerpick pattern in the 2nd and 3rd verse of These Voices of Mine. The chords being played underneath the pattern are: Bm, G, D/F#, A
This song is in 6/8 time and that means the eighth note gets the beat and there can be no more then 6 eighth notes in a measure.
6/8 in usually felt in 2, meaning we will hear a click or beat on the 1st and 4th eighth note in each measure.
The Breakdown
Fingerpicking
This first triad or chord is a Bm in 7th position. It would be called a first inversion Bm triad but more on that later.
You could play it with fingers 1, 2 and 3 however if you can get used to barring your first finger across the fret (7th) it will make the whole riff easier to play. Also is preparing you for the bigger bar chords.
The Breakdown
This G triad in 7th position will look exactly like your open D chord. And you could use the same fingers you would use to play and open D. However, because we came from the Bm, you may find it easier to just add your 2nd finger on the 8th fret of the 2nd string.
The Breakdown
Last Chord Shape
The high C should have a sharp sign in front of it.
This chord is essentially a A7sus4. When have to remember that the bass note being played is an A and the chord being strummed by guitar 1 is an A. So even though this shape does not have an A in it, we still need to think of it as some sort of A chord.
