I've been playing a while now, but for one reason and another just playing melodically (i.e. note by note). Now, with my new Weber Bighorn, I've been inspired to finally start learning some chords. And that means that I need to start working on picking patterns. But ... where to start?
So I know most of you have done this already, long ago. With the benefit of hindsight, can you tell me what are the first three picking patterns that you'd suggest I learn? (I already get the bass note plus strum, and the alternating bass + strum. Looking for something beyond.)
Remember, you're talking to a rank beginner at this chording and strumming thing.
