5 Cheap Guitars That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: EmCapotraste: 4th traste
Capo on 4th.
(Julia plays a basic two-finger picking pattern all throughout the song, using her thumb for the root note
and her index finger for the other note which is one string higher up. Note that the root note is played on
the beat, while the index finger is played ahead of the beat. You can best hold the normal Em, G and C chord
shapes while playing as its the easiest way to focus on the picking pattern.)
