Doesn't matter what kind of guitar you play, as long as you use your fingers. From classical to jazz to folk to blues, using fingers instead of (or in addition to) a pick opens up an entire new realm of possibilities. This subreddit is for fans of artists ranging from Andres Segovia to Andy McKee to Joe Pass. Nails are optional ;)
Feel free to post some of your favorite artists, your own compositions, and questions and tips concerning fingerstyle techniques.

Not sure if I should. Seems like a relatively new account but seemed genuine to me.
Iv been playing Doyle Dykes, barry the sailor pattern with a thumb pick for weeks now and am looking for some cool thumb picking tunes to learn next. Thanks

20+ year player who's been serious about finger style for the last two years. I use metal fingerpicks on a Martin D28. My progress has been good and I'm mostly pleased with my playing but I can still almost never play a song though perfectly: no missed notes, bass line perfect, no flubs. When you're strumming, you can cover a lot up. With finger style, a single error sounds like a train wreck.. So how do you get to "perfect"? Are there techniques that are helpful in conquering that last 5% need to play something with no flaws?
