The fifth and sixth fingerpicking patterns place the pinch on the second beat of the bar. This puts the emphasis or accent on this beat giving it quite a different feel to the previous patterns. You may consider the last note in each pattern as an optional note.
There will be situations when you may feel more comfortable omitting this note, especially on certain chord changes and when you are changing to a different pattern which has a pinch on the first beat of the bar. As with previous patterns the only difference between the following two patterns is the reversal of the treble strings.
The previous patterns are combined with earlier learned patterns for the following progression in the key of E. This progression is typical of a "classic" rag, from the early era of ragtime. Classic rags are featured later in the book. Several new chord shapes are also introduced.
