I did see this before I bought the totally guitars lesson. I was really hoping for the picking sequence to be explained, in detail.
Thanks

Hi Gang,

As is pointed out in the lesson, the accompaniment is variable and should change randomly as the song goes along. I have added a page that tabs out some examples that are discussed in the section on the progression, Part 5 I believe. The key to this song is having a solid understanding and good execution of the basic fingerpicking technique of keeping a steady alternating bass going while mixing in pinches and fingers between bass notes smoothly.

Taking a look at the Fingerpicking 101 set of lessons would develop these skills.

Hope that helps,

Neil
