right hand technique

[skyline014]

i got my left hand down. but im really having a lot of trouble with my right hand. i play with only one finger for the most part and its just not workin for me. im just having a lot of trouble alternating fingers while playing. does anyone have any exercises or and tips that will help me out?

Gotta use two fingers and alternate them. It's the best way to play and most efficient. When you do pluck with fingers, your fingers should always finish by landing and resting on the string back from the string you plucked. Just keep practicing man. You'll get it in no time.

Great video by Gary Willis about right-hand technique:

Good technique = a little bit of instruction + a lot of practice

Also, if you're serious about it, consider getting a classical guitar and find a copy of Giuliani's 120 Daily Studies For The Right Hand. The studies are very short and you can get through the whole book in 10-15 minutes. Do this every day and you're set for life on right-hand technique.

Here's a "tounge-twister" for you.
