Nice one old chum . I retire next year and I am moving to a detatched home so I can get my amp out and have a real practice!! Thanks for all the demos and tips. I am discovering things I should have learned 40 years ago ! Keep rocking my friend!

Claude, your pickin’ doesn’t match the tab for the first pluck.-Or I’m blind! It does sound great though, thanks.

Hi Guys, love your work Claude. If you want to hear this lick in the framework of an excellent tune, check out Dire Straits “Setting Me Up”, the chorus is pretty much built around this riff and is a top place to start if you want to journey down this style and exceptionally good for those looking for a country fingerstyle workout… Again, thanks Claude, you’re a top bloke 🙂

Why can’t you bare the 7th fret like the 5th and 2nd fret?

Per Jay Biyak’s comment that this sounds more like blues than country, remember that blues originated from poor black country folks. So, country and blues are related at “poor” and “country”.

In reply to margaret.

Hi Margaret.
Reading TAB for fingerpicking is quite easy. Keep the thumb of your right had for the lowest (fattest) 3 strings (E,A andD) and then your index finger for the G string, middle finger for B string (thinnest but one) and ring finger for the E (thinnest string).
The TAB diagram shows the six strings fattest on bottom and thinnest on top, with the numbers on each string representing which fret the fingers of your left hand should hold down.
Usually the thumb will play on the beat and the fingers will pick out the melody or provide an accomanyment.
Persevere.It really doesn’t take long to master.
Remember Practice SLOW Learn FAST.
