"Oh" Help please

Unread post by magic2584 » Fri Feb 25, 2005 1:59 pm

I'm fairly new to fingerpicking, but I am having some trouble with "Oh." If there is a video out there, or if someone could make a video, that would be greatly appreciated.

Go to claypigeons.net and search for the session@aol videos.
there is an equally good one at dave's vh1.com site.

Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Learn some other fingerpicking stuf first. Finger pick some 2nd inversion triads and learn some fingerpicked songs.

Dust in the Wind by Kansas
Good Riddance by Green Day
Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton

There are plenty others that I can't think of right now.
