Anyone know of some excercises to help fingerstyle guitar players.

 

I mainly use a pick, but i love the way fingerstyle sounds.

Lessons are always a good idea.

I'm too cheap and sticking with my whole "self-taught" thing I never did. So i'm sure I have a million bad habits :(

There's a site that has a lot of good fingerstyle tunes to work through. I find learning those has helped my fingerstyle a lot.

In terms of mechanics it just takes time to build that ability to pluck different strings with different fingers accurately.

You might want to start with a chord progression and start arpeggiating chords with all your fingers to start building the feeling for plucking strings.

I use all my fingers because I find it easier to play all the strings if my thumb is rooted at the 5th or 6th string, but some people only use 3 or 4 fingers.

On that site he gears those songs at a 4 finger approach. You might want to start easier though and arpeggiate with only 3 fingers to start.
