Topic: Hi All, new and have a question. (16 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Im 32 years old and recently started playing again. Again meaning when i was 24 I went out and bought a Ibanez electric, having not ever played before, but wanted to learn. About 2 months later, i was given a Alvarez acoustic for a present. Well, i "dabbled" for about 8 months, till i quit playing and eventually sold my Ibanez.
About a month ago, I picked my Alvarez back up and began to play again. Now i'm really enjoying it.
I mainly hope to play traditional hymns, and some praise and worship. Although i'm having some problems with the F chord and B chord, I know that just more practice will help.
My question is, how long before I should be able to do some finger picking? Is that a expert technique, or can i start practicing it now? I want to make sure I learn all the basics first, but I didn't know where this comes into play.
Thanks in advance, and I enjoy your music, and help.
