We will play intervals, mainly 10ths in this one. The point is to create an interesting, open sound without using full chords, picking non-adjacent strings. You can often hear this style in African music, and of course you can put it in any kind of genre you desire to play. The key is to memorize the shapes on the fretboard and the fingers you find comfortable to pick with, and of course, to keep a steady time when you're at tempo. I had a faster and a slower run for both camera angles. Enjoy!

Yes, it's the groove that matters in this one, because I played major chords only, so nothing fancy again. I tried to jump all over the fretboard and used different fingerings of the same chords to make it sound more colourful - and hopefully a bit more complicated - than it really is. This little example proves again that you can "sell" just about anything with a steady time, keeping up a fluid groove.

Well, if we can call it a song... but at least a simple chording with some melody notes on top of it. I play it slow first, then a bit more uptempo. If you managed to get a nice finger independence from my previous fingerpicking exercise, you won't find this one too difficult either. Good luck and have fun!

It's a great riff/exercise to achieve that finger independence. I use simple chord shapes again, the aim is to have a nice groove going on, making the bassline and the rhythm part come apart nicely. Play the bass line with the thumb, and the skank rhythm with the index and middle fingers. I played both the fretting hand and the picking hand views slowly first, then played them a bit more uptempo.

Here's an effective lick for R & B music. It's a laid back groove with double stops, then three note 6 chords, ending in a three note major chord. As you can see, I play the first part on the three bass strings, and the final part is on the three treble strings.

This easy but good sounding groove is basically an I.-IV.-V. riff, where a single bassline playing the root, the third and the fifth of the chords. The "secret" is the groove itself; keep it just loose enough and you'll get it right. It's in the key of F, and in the end I play a C7#9 chord, to finish it with an F chord.

This is my arrangement of the song. I reharmonized it, but anyway I tried to keep it as simple as possible.

Here's a simple lick again - you probably heard something similar in countless country and bluegrass songs. It's a good example of using open strings and hammer-ons. The trick of this kind of playing is to let your fingers do it automatically. For that, you have to practice it slowly first, then after some time it'll become your second nature.

Keep the bass groove steady with your thumb on the three lowest open strings. The melody I played here is just an example; you can create just about anything over those three chords - I- IV-V; - A-D-E - with only using those three open strings as bass notes. Don't be afraid to embellish the melody with hammer-ons and pull-offs. Notice the effectiveness of simple two and three note voicings.
