Thumb Picking: a G Riff

This tip uses KtabS. Look at the tip for Tuesday, July 25, 2006 for information on using KtabS.

When people play chords on guitar, they can strum (powerful but sometimes boring) or they can fingerpick (delicate and interesting). This exercise is like finger picking the G chord, only "thumb picking" might be more descriptive.
