plucking. For clarity we have written the picking pattern in the notation. [Verse 1: Bars 6-9] The picking pattern from the intro section remains the main crux of the piece. The only elements that change in the verse are the location of the bass note and also which group of three strings is being used.

Track 4 Acoustic Fingerpicking

[Verse 2: Bars 10-13] For this first repeat we add in a simple yet effective part based around a barre on the 5th fret. This is played over the pattern we learned for Verse 1. If you have a loop pedal you can loop verse 1 and then have fun layering verse 2 and 3 over the top. [Verse 3: Bars 14-17] To increase the intensity we shift position up to the 8th fret. The picking pattern here is a little more intricate, but the pull-off from the 10th fret to 8th fret on the first string is the key. [Outro:] To finish, we have a few lines that use the A Blues scale (A-C-DEb-E-G). This is played over the same picking part from the intro. Enjoy!
