CHORDS:
F C G Am Asus2
E|------------------------| * notes appear only where indicated
B|---------0*--1-----0----|
G|-2*--0---0---2-----2----| Asus2 fingering is the same as Am
D|-3---2---0---2-----2----| without the index-finger
A|-3---3---2---0-----0----|
E|-1-------3--------------| C and G use ring and middle-finger
While the picking pattern is reasonably simple it is quite tricky
to play at this tempo. Practise 'strumming' with the chords first
rather than trying to focus on picking each individual note.
1st-string never sounds so there is no need to barre the F-chord.
Be sure to change chords on 2+
Notice that each group of four notes ends with an OPEN-string.
This provides time to change fingering.
On 2+ the open string is always part of the next chord.
On 4+ the open string is a passing note.
Add the hammers AFTER the picking patterns are mastered.
Slowed down version of the INTRO is available from here.
TAB shows all patterns used but is presented without repeats.
