Hi Friends, I was just thinking about hearing my dad play the guitar when I was a little kid. He had an old classical guitar and he would play and sing old hymns and Christian songs that he and his friend had written in college. I remember one of my favorites he would sing was The Rock that is Higher than I. The lyrics were from an old poem but he and his friend had composed a melody for it. For that song he would use a picking pattern with his thumb and first 3 fingers. I've never been able to play that picking pattern like he did but I think that a lot of my picking is influenced by the way he played when I was little. He rarely plays guitar anymore but I'm thankful he taught me music when I was little. He got me started on this journey of learning guitar almost exactly 40 years ago!
