Well, for finger-picking just try stuff like:

Code: Select all

E  :0---0-------0---|0---0-------0---|0---------------|
B  :--------0-------|--0-----0-------|----------------|
G  :--0---0---------|------0---0-----|----------------|
D  :----------------|----------------|----------------|
A  :----------------|----------------|----------------|
E  :0-------0---0---|----0-----------|0---------------|
You're probably not going to play things that sound that great -- perhaps a little better than this random crap with a different tuning -- but just practice patterns.

For speed picking try stuff like this:

Code: Select all

E  :--------------------0-0--------|--------------------0-0--------|------0-------------------0-0-0|
B  :----------------0-0-----0-0----|------------------------0-0----|--0-------0-----------0-0------|
G  :------------0-0-------------0-0|------------------------------0|------------------0-0----------|
D  :--------0-0--------------------|0-0---------0-0-------------0--|----0---------0----------------|
A  :----0-0------------------------|----0-0---------0-0------------|0-------0-------0--------------|
E  :0-0----------------------------|--------0-0--------------------|------------0------------------|
Use up and down picking. Just do exorcises like this. I hope you're wrist heals soon!

do that but if u want it to sound good... put a capo on the 7th fret where dave plays "oh" "stay or leave" "ynk"...it is an open tuning so it will sound good.

Try to actually stay away from a guitar. I never could. try what ^^^he^^^ said and change the tunings so you don't need to fret...
