just try different picking patterns wile changing the chords; there is nothing else to it.

What trouble are you having now?

Do you have any recordings of you trying to play fingerstyle?

The answer is practice, but if we know what troubles you're having we might be able to offer more useful advice.

I just don't know if there's a certain way to do it or if you just develop your own way or what

I don't have any fingerstyle recordings

Most fingerstyle (classical) players will use their thumb for the bottom 3 strings (EAD) and use index on the G, middle on the B and ring on the high E.

Practicing this way enables you to use each finger independently and clearly play multiple voices at once.

I'm a very lazy/not technical player, so I don't adhere to that rule very strictly. You can definitely develop your own style, but it will have limitations.

Salem's recent recordings are a great angle to observe how his fingers are used. Check this Xenogears one he put up earlier this week and watch his hand.

He 'floats' his hand above the strings, whereas I usually anchor on my pinky or thumb. Floating is generally the better technique, but it also requires more work/practice.

If you are having any particular difficulties, make a post and we'll all try to help you out!

Can anyone suggest the simplest fingerstyle tab on here so i can practice it

It not the most simple tab but my first fingerstyle piece was Ode to joy.

another good and easy song is stairway to heaven.

The first one I learned was Ronito's "Theme of Love" from FF IV.

Kabuki's "Descendant of Shinobi" from FF VII is a popular beginner piece, too; though doing the second part (with triplets) takes a little practice.

His Kids Run Through the City Corner from FF VI is pretty simple, too.

I've got a few beginner classical studies tabbed in GP5- see here, here and here. I plan to transcribe more of these from this book in the coming weeks.

this is the first fingerstyle piece I ever learned. Good for getting familiar with hitting multiple strings at once.

this isn't as easy, though it isn't hard, and is good to learn with.

this isn't a fingerstyle piece, but play it as if it was and it will help your finger dexterity. If you want to, put your guitar in drop d and play the e and a strings as a Chord with the first note of every measure with your thumb. This replaces the open on the d string.

Okay i guess my main problem is picking speed because its hard for me to use my fingers and i was just wondering if there was anything you can do to fix that or if it's just practice practice practice...

to fix technique practice is required.

yeah that's what i expected oh well thx anyways

The nightmare's beginning was my speed training, I just played it as quickly as possible, ignoring the open on d and just playing the top three strings. I also played the beginning of trangoul's decisive battle, but with the bass notes.

Practice, that's all there is to it.

Unless you practice wrong, in which case you won't get any better and you may get bad habits that take a while to un-learn.

Make sure you're using the right technique before you practice anything, and then practice slowly and deliberately, without distractions. Find a good teacher or do some research, if you aren't confident. Don't practice faster than you can play cleanly--slow down if you can't play it well. And, as always, make sure you're constantly looking for flaws in your technique.

The reason for all of this is, if you play something fast and sloppy, or with poor technique, your body learns that sloppy or poor technique, and you repeat it. You lock in that crappiness. You don't want that. You want your muscle memory to work FOR you, not AGAINST you, so practice it slowly and cleanly, with proper technique, and be patient. Later, you'll find you're able to speed up and rely on the muscle memory you got from practicing slowly.

So don't "just practice" or "play as fast as possible"! Do it right.

I didn't mean start off playing as fast as possible at once, I meant I used them to build up speed gradually, ending up with my speed being very fast.
