Thanks for these.
I was learning a slightly different layout and now im torn which to commit to.

Is the 3 1 3 only useful for a full
On sweep or do you use it as a shell and add the other notes back to the strings with only 1 note for different phrasing capability?

Hi Klaus, I’m a rookie just started a few months ago. What I noticed in your examples here are that these are “3 notes per string patterns (basically), versus what I’ve seen else where. I’m more into BLUES of any type and what I’m learning is the Minor Pentatonic scales are very important. I’m currently practicing 2 NOTES per string. What kind of advice would you offer regarding the differences between the 2 NOTE versions and the 3 NOTE versions. I’m thinking about progressions as might be used in soloing using FINGER_PICKING techniques. Thanks Ron

This is Ahmed.

I hope you’re doing fine.

I’d love to hear your opinion on the best way to learn the guitar. I’m doing a roundup of opinions on my blog (where I ask 20 expert guitar players about the best way to learn the guitar) and i think people would love to hear what you (as an expert guitar player) think about.

Question: If you could suggest the best way to learn the guitar what would it be?

Of course, I’ll include a link back to your site (with a photo).

Thank you in advance.

Hi Prasana,

Have fun with the patterns. First practice slow, memorize the pattern and when you feel comfortable gradually speed up.

Best regards,

Hi Klaus,
Since it is in tablature it is easy to read. I am going to work these exercises.This “sweep picking” technique is a new term to me.
Thanks for sharing.
