Right-Hand Technique, Part 1: Assigning Fingers to Strings
 
This right-hand technique lesson explains why it’s a good idea to assign specific fingers to specific strings: index, middle, and ring fingers to the top three strings, and thumb to the bass strings. With a classic example from Leo Kottke. Stevie also explains his numbering system for strings and fingers.
