I do not speak in this lesson. Something about the acoustic guitar brings out a more gentle nature within me, and I felt that even to utter a single word in the same room as such a delicate instrument would be really rude.

This part uses a very common right hand fingerpicking technique called travis picking. This should be one of first fingerpicking patterns you ever learn. I show the isolated movements involved towards the end of the video.
The entire part repeats twice, but the second time there are subtle variations in the left hand chords. When I recorded this song I liked both ways of playing the part and decided to do it one way one time, and the other way the other time. You can learn both variations, or just one and play it twice. You do you.

All right, time to put all the work I did on Dust in the Wind to the test!

Ahhh, lovely as ever ♥ I am still working on it here and there, btw--it's both a beautiful soothing song, and a great endurance test! I'll get to the point where I feel competent to cover it someday.

Oh my goodness, this is beautiful! I'm so glad you dropped your pick in the shred lord lesson and had to give us this finger picking video.
Oh HELL yeah
