This is our second fingerstyle lesson. We are learning a right hand picking pattern that is similar to "Dust in the Wind" by the band Kansas, and applying it to the chords we used in the last lesson. One thing to think about is that the thumb is playing on every downbeat, or where you would tap your foot while you are playing. Notes either happen with the thumb (like on beat one) or in between thumb picks (beats two, three and four).
The pattern stays consistent throughout the example piece, although when we have the F and G chords we move the thumb to the 6th string for the notes on the 1st and 3rd beats.
