Stub Mandrel Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 11 minutes ago, Woodinblack said: I always found the picking pattern between the two high notes and the open A is pretty natural and simple, I never saw what the issue with it was, the only issue with that whole bit is the hand move from the bottom to the top the first time, but once you have done the first one and your hand has remembered where it is, all subsequent ones are not really an issue. Which is handy, as normally in that bit someone decides they want to talk to you for some reason. Often the singer. ^^^ This! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no-one whose opinion I care about, anyway. *This is a joke. I don’t really do this. I play 7 Nation Army. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd stick to roots if I were you, as there's some bloke about to come on stage and ask if you could announce that there's still a few sandwiches left at the buffet, there's a taxi waiting outside for Pam, and can his dad sing Una Paloma Blanca................ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
