I dunno how i got here I don't even have a guitar

Watching this lying on the bed , hoping that I'll be able to play after watching the video

I didn't knew what this was called so I searched how to beat guitar😂

You should start to teach fingerstyle arrangements, you seems to be an amazing teacher. BTW amazing video. A big thumbs up.

2:38 There you go. Thats the most important thing. Practice it slowly and again and again and again. When I learned this it was so hard me. It´s really not easy to slap and flick simultaneously in the beginning but eventually your fingers get the hang of it. The notes of these songs are not essentially that difficult but the technique really makes it interesting and driven. Learn it and have fun!

Just started trying to do this today, hardest part I'm finding is getting the right tension in the index finger during the twist. Too soft and I don't get any follow through on the hook; too hard, and I hit the string below without wanting to. Also struggling getting a good consistent slap sound. Thumb on its own, no problem. Index on its own, no problem. Combining the two: yikes.

I've been a classical guitarist for about 15 years and recently started playing fingerstyle as well for something more fun and chill than the sometimes rigid technicality of classical music.  I heard this technique (and many others I hadn't tried before) and was really confused for the last week trying to figure out how to do this.  Then I watched this video and got it down first try with your style!  Thanks so much!  You have a great ability to teach all levels my friend!

Imma have to practice 40h hours a day ling ling to get that pattern down .. Thanks for the tutorial !

Wow damn that's difficult

Finally mastered this thumb slap thing after 3 weeks.

Thank you so much! I'm a 13 year old and have only been playing guitar for about eight months and I can now finally play Stop This Train after practicing this technique vigorously.

QUICK TIP: this literally was the make or break of me getting the technique down - when you hit the string with your pointer finger, make sure that it clears away from the strings (don't follow through with the finger and let it sit on the next string)

guys  when you practice it try your slap very hard and force yourself to slap everytime. exaggerate the slap makes the whole technique easier when you practice it.

I came here recommended by vvxoFingerstyleTab:)

I was waiting for the "wasted" 1:58

Every video you upload is amazing.

I do t understand I am having a hard time getting the note to play with my fingernail and slapping at the same time

I've been looking for this video for 15 years.

Paul can you just make a video of you playing john mayer like things for like 30 minutes non stop... and just say nothing... just play

Can you do a video on harmony? I never attended musical school, I really want to understand the theory so I can play/learn songs by ear more easier.
