Basics of Fingerpicking > Brushes, Snaps, Pops and Muting

In this lesson we cover a few techniques that will make your playing much more interesting: brushes, snaps, pops, slides and muting. Learn how to use these techniques appropriately and you will be well on your way to adding more flavor to your music. We also discuss the importance of muting the strings when you are playing so that you isolate the strings that you want to play.
