Okay, this is the picking for the intro for Island Woman.
Basically, you want to start in F.
I'll try to make this as fast as possible.
You want to start with F and then you want to roll.
I rolled the whole picking, but you want to use the first string, the third string, and
the fourth string.
And this is how the beginning sounds.
[C] And if you want to be a little bit fancier, you can pick this fourth string open when
you're rolling while you're picking.
So it [F] sounds a little bit better.
So I [G] [Fm] just picked that fourth string [Am] last, if you want.
It's just a different way of picking it.
So you start with F.
And it's basically strum, pick, the first string, and then you can roll.
Roll with the third, fourth, first.
[G] And from there, your middle finger goes second fret, third string, slide up [Dm] to the fourth
fret, put your pointer down on the third fret, first string.
So it's almost like an F, but you're going down.
So it's [Am] strum, roll, strum, slide, [C] and that's going to be that third fret, first string.
And [F] that's that beginning part.
[Am] And then from there, you want to go slide first fret, third string to the next fret.
[A] And then you're going to use your pointer to go to the first fret, second string.
And you're hammering this one.
You're sliding this one, hammering this one.
And you're picking that first string and then hammering the first string.
[Dm] [F] And then you're going to roll that.
[A]
Then from there, it's slide up [F] to the pick and slide the second string up to the first
dot, the fifth fret.
[Gb] And then it's just pull-offs.
[G] [D] So you're sliding it up, pick, pull, and then the fourth string.
So [F] it sounds like
[G] [A] [F] [G]
[F] Sorry, I got to go through the whole thing because I always forget where I am.
And then here, you're going to go hammer the first fret, second string, and [Em] then pick this fourth string.
And then it's the [D] first string on the third fret, [F] pick and open.
[Am] [Bb] [C]
Then you want to go third string, second fret, slide it up.
And then it's kind of like that F you made before, but it's one string down.
So slide up.
[Cm] And then you want to put this ring finger down here on the fifth fret, first string,
pick, open.
[E] So,
[C] right?
And this whole thing you're rolling, I'm just giving you the basic how your finger should
go, and then you roll that whole thing.
And then from there, you keep this finger here, and you slide it up to the eighth fret.
You're going to go past this second dot.
So from C, you pick, slide, pick, and you just pick that three times.
So you can roll that.
[D] [Abm] Then it's middle finger on the
Middle finger on the
Sorry, seventh.
Second string, seventh fret, and then this is your pointer is going to be on the sixth
fret, first string.
And you just pick both of them, boom, slide down to the first dot or the fifth [Gbm] fret.
[Cm] [G] Okay, so this one is going to be down here.
This finger is going to be, skip this [D] fret, skip the fourth fret, and then skip [Eb] the second fret.
So [G] from C, you pick, slide.
[Eb] [Am] Boom, [F] boom, boom.
It's pretty easy, just follow the dots.
So you're above the dot, [B] then you're going to be middle finger on the dot, middle finger
on the dot, but this finger is going to be skipping the fourth fret, and then middle
finger on the third.
So it's seventh, fifth, third.
[Ab] Okay, and then you're rolling that whole time, so it should be [Am]
[G]
something like that.
And then you do the whole thing again, but the second time you're going around, I'll
show you the change.
[F] So [Am] it's
[F] [Am]
[G] [A] [Am]
So that's the change in the second one.
You're going, the first one you're going slide, slide, and then hammer.
This one you're going slide, and then you're going to that C7 chord or the [Cm] first fret,
first [D] string.
And that's the only difference, and the rest is the same.
