Hi! I am Franklin Taggart. I am a guitar player and a guitar teacher. I would like to show you how to apply a finger picking pattern to the 12-bar blues in the key of A on the guitar. So the chords that you need to learn are A7, D7 and E7 and the finger picking pattern that you need to learn is this one; your thumb picks on one, two, three and four, and your index finger picks on two and in between three and four, so; one, two, three and four. So, I will start now with the 12-bar blues in the key of A using that finger picking pattern; one, two, ready, go. That's all there is to it. That's using the fingerpicking to play the blues in the key of A on the guitar.
