dust in the wind interlude

[musicdoc522]

Can anyone help me with the interlude. I am having difficulty with the seventh measure of the interlude. It looks like on the third fret I have to pick both the secon and 4th string. What am I missing here??. The only thing I could think of was to bar the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings.

Hi The 7th measure goes: pick the 2nd string and 5th string together for a quarter note whilst holding the 2nd string at the 3rd fret 5th string open, then its 8th notes picked separately for the rest: 4th string 3rd fret, 3rd string 5th fret, 5th string open, 2nd string 3rd fret finally 4th string 3rd fret 3rd string 5th fret. Does that make sense?

Further to my last, I just went back to check Neils vids and the left hand break down is particularly useful when it comes to the interlude and shows two options for finger placement and which finger to use one is easier than the other with less of a stretch, although I found it more natural to try the harder way wierd huh!

now I think I got it, but it will take alot of practice. That's what it is all about. Thanks!
