Place your LH fingers only as you need them and in the order that you need them. These problems usually occur when you're trying to grab all the notes at once - and this is poor technique and difficult to do. Maybe practice landing on the bass note and only then worry about the rest of the notes in the chord. | |

| Feb 2, 2016 at 15:26 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | An arpeggio is where you play a chord one note at a time, instead of all the notes at once. So a basic up once arpeggio of the C major open chord would be done by fingering the chord, then pluck the A string with your thumb, then the D string with your thumb, then G with first, B with second, and high E with your third finger (all on your plucking hand, of course). So you hear each note of the chord one at a time. Normally you let the notes "ring out", which means you don't damp them or lift your fretting fingers. When you're done with the arpeggio, you are hearing the whole chord at once. | |

It sounds like there is another question hiding in there somewhere like "What finger picking patterns are good to start playing chord progressions with?" I'd look into some basic Travis picking, like in "Dust in the wind". | |
