Been playing my acoustics alot recently trying to improve my fingerpicking type stuff and it just doesn't seem to be happening. I have been practising the little opening riff to Why Georgia by John Mayer for friggin AGES and I still can't get it down smoothly. Any online tutorials for practising some basic fingerpicking stuff? And do I just need to stick at it and eventually it'll just all fall intp place?

Online tutorial eh?

I'd also recommend the Happy Traum easy steps to fingerpicking series, very comprehensive.

Cheers for that! I'm trying to start using my 1st and middle fingers now and it does work better. Now, could you do the next bit please, with the hammer ons and pull offs. Thanks! Oh! And the next verse when he's strumming instead of finger picking.

Infact, just do it all if you want. :lol:

Edit: Cheers also Vim. 8)
