If I Were A Carpenter

I really like the finger picking you were doing on If I Were A Carpenter (not the Robert Plant, just the section where you mentioned that you used to teach this as just a finger picking song). Any chance you could post the picking pattern you use? Or is there a lesson that has this?

There is a lesson already on this website. Tim Hardin is the artist

Thanks for jumping in (Bart too). I get you are asking about what I called generic picking, which is the pattern used in songs like Brain Damage and Dust In The Wind. I am sure it is tabbed out in the Fingerpicking 101 but I will add it here soon as well.

Tab added above, I hope.

Thanks, I'm still working on trying to figure out the fingering, but this is a great help (If you have any advice on the fingering, ...)
