Very well played, fluidly and smoothly.

If you are serious about classical guitar, pick up your pinky and always alternate picking fingers on the same string (with the exception of thumb). Also, volume dynamics.

P.S. Relax

It slows down your hand, prevents you from crossing strings as easily when the occasion eventually warrants, and ruins your rest stroke and rasgueado. Plus, the tremelo is much harder when the pinky doesn't follow the ring finger.

So does Mark Knopfler, although actually he tends to use both his pinky and his ring finger as a base, and plays the 1 2 thumber.

There's the "correct" way, and there's the comfortable way.
I tend to play whichever is most comfortable.
For me, it's not using a base. I've tried it after seeing a few players who do, and all it did was slow me down, and cramped my hand.

Whatever works.

Yeah Im trying to play

Yeah Im trying to play without using a base right now which is screwing with my accuracy greatly. I figure I should just fix it now before it screws up my hand though.
