_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey, what's up you [Bb] guys?
Marty [B] Schwartz here, and I'm going to teach [A] you a really cool finger-picking intro [D] to this [F] song.
_ [B] A little [Eb] note, the original recording is [F] on a 12-string guitar, so it's got that [C] jingle jangle [D] sound.
We're [C] just going to do it on the [Db] old regular [E] guitar here.
But it sounds fancier than it [Bb] is [E] difficult, and [C] that's always really fun.
Those are like, you know, [Bb] the funnest ones to do.
[Ab] [Gb] So we'll zoom in and I'll [B] break it down for [A] you.
Also real quick, please subscribe to this YouTube channel [C] of mine.
I really appreciate [F] that.
And you can leave [A] comments, like the video, all [Bb] that kind of support is [Dm] what I really
really appreciate the most.
[B] So thanks for hanging [A] out with me.
Let's zoom in and break this down right now.
[Ab] Here we go.
Alright, so this revolves, the opening licks here, we're going to finger [Eb]-pick them.
And they revolve around D minor, so we're going to have this open D string [D] right here
_ _ going [F] through the whole finger-picking set [Cm] of licks.
What I want to do is there's really just two shapes involved, so I think the [F] best thing
to do is show you the [D] shapes first, then we'll [Db] do the picking pattern.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ So here's the first shape.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] Oh, and also the original recording is a 12-string, [C] so that's what you're hearing that [E] sounds different.
12-string really [C] jingles and jangles, _ so [Eb] that would make it even more authentic [Bb] if you had
a 12-string, which I don't have.
Maybe I should get one.
[F] So it would be 14th fret on [A] the G string, and then I'm covering [D] _
the, _ I mean you can
actually cover the top three strings with your index, but we've got to cover, we're
not going to be [A] playing the B string at all, but I'm just barring it down on the [Bb] 13th fret
of the B [Cm] and the high E, even the G just for strength because we're [F] going to go.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [E] _
So that first [Dm] one _ is [Db] that.
[Gb] Then we cover the [B] 12th fret of [Eb] the G, B, and high [Em] E, _ and as we practice you can [C] pluck with
your thumb and middle finger or thumb and ring finger, [A] I'm using middle finger, _ [C] pluck
the G and high E and avoid the B.
So we have this one, _ [Bm] _
then [Eb] covering _ 12th fret, [C] _ _
_ _ and we
move that down [G] a whole step and it's the same thing.
_ So now it's the 10th fret, then we move [Eb] it down another whole [D] step, but we add our middle
finger again [Ab] like we did for the first [Bb] shape, and the middle finger is [Eb] on the G string 9th fret.
[Am] _
_ _ So, so far, [E] _ 14 and 13, [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ 12, _ 10, _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
then 9 [Eb] and [C] 8, _ _ _ _ _ _ then we go back to the other [Bbm] shape on the
5th fret, we cover the 5th fret of the G, B, [F] and high E, _ _ _ _ _ then we move that down to [C] the
3rd fret _ [Db] and we add our middle finger to the 4th fret of the [C] G.
So _ _ _ _ we've only used two shapes for the whole thing.
This shape [Eb] is what we used on the [F] first one.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Gb] And so when [C] we're _ middle finger [F] on the 4th fret and we're covering the 3rd fret of [C] the
_ high E, [Em] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Gb] we play [E] that and then we just scoot it down a whole step to where we're on [Db] the
2nd fret [D]
and the [F] 1st fret here.
_ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] Alright so now let's pick them.
Thumb's [G] going to be [Em] continuing to [D] hit the open D [Eb] string, and then I'm [D] going to use my
pointer finger [Bb] on the G string, [D] and then I'm going to use my middle finger on the high
E, and we never play the B string.
So we just go back and forth, open D, G, _ high E, [Dm] back to G. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] And we do that for the whole thing [G] until the end.
[F] _ _ _ _ So check it [Dm] out. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
I _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [G] would switch to a pick at that point, but it's _ [N] _ [C]-0-3 _ [B] on the A string,-0-3, then the open D, [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
then 3 [F] on the D, _ _ [D] open. And _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ then you form a D chord, but with the open E ringing [E] out. _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ [Eb] 14 and 13, [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] 12, _ _ _ [Dm] 10, _ _ _ _ _ [D] 9 and 8, _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] 5, _ _ _ 4 and [D] 3, [G] _ _ _ _ then slide it back. _ [F] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Cool that's it. So be sure to look for [Gb] the lesson _ [D] on [C] the song portion, _ [G] and [Cm] hope that helped. Alright there was the [Eb] lesson.
