Thanks boss. It's one of the earliest songs I remember hearing that I thought, "I'm gonna learn to play that some day."
Now that I'm well over 400 years old in life experience, I figured it was about time to take it off the list.
I am not good at that fingerpicking stuff like that with the alternating strings. I don't ever really play like that.
I've never been good at it either. I have dumb fingers on both hands, and the hands are sometimes out of sync, so strings that should ring out are muted, and strings that should be muted ring out. I had to pick for 16 minutes to get that short video!
I'm pretty sure Arlo used finger-picks on the original. That's completely foreign to me...like having inch-long fingernails and trying to play guitar
Finger picks are completely foreign to me as well. I should try picking in that pattern once and see how hard it is,
