Chapter 1-Right hand picking (Plucking)

So this is for the first lesson that i'd like to share with the musicmaniac....
This is mainly the basic thing you should know; plucking...
This is what i learned the i first got my acoustic guitar...
 So grab your guitar now!

The Right Hand:

As we all know, we=human have 5 fingers on both hands and feet....
But hey...we only use fingers on both hands while playing guitar...
So lets start....


From diagram above the P(thumb) will be used to pick/pluck the upper three strings (EAD).
And the other string is handled by:

I (index)-3th string (G)
M (Middle)-2nd string (B)
A (Ring)-1st string (e)

Exercise 1:
P-i-m-a (E-G-B-e) 
P-i-m-a (A-G-B-e)
P-i-m-a (D-G-B-e)
  
Notes: Pluck the individual string with the specified fingers(refer diagram)
                 
        
As simple as the diagram, you can start practicing by plucking with open strings.
Without any chord is not a problem.
But once you mastered this, its okay to play it with songs.
You'll be amazed of what this exercise did to your fingers....Trust me! =)


 Try this pattern too!

2)P-a-m-i
3)P-i-m-a-m-i
4)P-a-m-i-m-a

Questions and kind comments are welcome...
 Enjoy your practice!

P/s: If you guys have different method...do comment... =)
