Fingerpicking and open strings are a great recipe for solo acoustic guitar – the ringing strings provide a sustaining “base” for harmonic and rhythmic interest from the picked parts.In this video lesson (part one of two), Elixir Strings artist Marc Seal takes his song “When You Gonna Change”, which features a lovely, almost Zeppelin-esque E Major fingerpicking pattern. Marc also demonstrates how to move triad chord shapes up the neck – be sure to check out Part 2 to learn the whole thing: youtu.be/cWKHtVxxuMY
Explaining why he’s a fan of Elixir Strings Marc says, “Elixir String always sound stellar and really last! Because of the coating, they always feel like a new set of strings to me. Honestly, I love them!”
Marc uses Elixir® Acoustic Phosphor Bronze Strings with Nanoweb Technology 13-56
