Chords

A simple but versatile picking pattern for those wanting to get started with fingerpicking. First bar is only the picking hand pattern, and the second bar is the pattern over a C-chord. This pattern is used in songs such as Dust In The Wind by Kansas. I personally also learned to play Blackbird by The Beatles with this pattern.
