Oh, starting with the thumb first for fingerstyle – that makes so much sense! It's all about building that solid rhythmic foundation before getting fancy with the other fingers.
I love how he's emphasizing thumb independence right from the get-go. It’s like the backbone of the whole technique, so crucial for that consistent groove.
Interesting that he wants us to keep the fingers down initially. It’s a very disciplined approach, forcing you to really lock in that thumb pattern without any distractions.
