Mine would be the Dunable Yeti. It costs around $1600. Unique body shape but would rather spend that money on something else

@Victor Penniman Yessir! Makes me feel like Santa Clause 😁

This is way more common than you think, so you’re not broken and you’re not alone. What you’re describing is classic over-consciousness. When fingerpicking is working, your hands are running on muscle memory. The moment your brain jumps in to “supervise,” it hijacks the process and throws your timing off. That’s not a lack of practice...it’s actually a sign you’re close. A few things that help: Anchor the rhythm outside your fingers. Lightly tap your foot, sway, or even quietly count the beat in your head. Give your brain a simple job so it doesn’t start micromanaging your fingers. Loop short patterns longer than feels comfortable. Take a 1–2 bar pattern and loop it for several minutes without changing anything. The goal isn’t speed or complexity...it’s endurance and steadiness. Practice distraction on purpose. Once the pattern is comfortable, talk out loud, watch something low-stakes, or sing while playing. This trains your hands to keep going even when your attention shifts. Slow it down more than you think you should. If it falls apart after a minute, the tempo is still a little too fast. Slower builds automaticity, not boredom. One mindset shift that really helps: You’re not trying to control your fingers...you’re trying to trust them. Fingerpicking gets worse the harder you try to “do it right.”
