I really loved this finger pickings exercise, Thomas. I play faster using different fingers than I am supposed to….I have a bit of arthritis in my hands & find it easier…..but am working on trying the proper fingering pattern, as I really want to learn this technique because it’s so beautiful.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the “correct” fingers. The reason this is a standard way to play this is that the fingers line up with the strings. Depending on the level of arthritis you may try a different approach. It may be best to keep doing the same way once you decide which is best.
