I searched it on the Tube (of course) and lifted a few riffs from here and there to put this version together. Thus picking style is normally performed using a plastic thumb pick, bare finger or nails, but I had trouble keeping it under control, so used bare thumb as well. It needs a delicate touch, and I tend to pick hard, so lots of challenges here for us all. If you'd like a series of lessons posting here for this tune, leave a comment. If there are over 15 comments or so, I'll post about four separate lessons covering this version, with some tips on tackling those hard bits.
