Hello all!

This week's video: https://youtu.be/Fs2TBQ_v-0E

It's been a little while since I've looked at any fingerstyle, and this is one of my favourite fingerpicking songs. This lesson is based on the Nico recording, which can be found on her album Chelsea Girl. If you want to try it in more of a Jackson Browne style, it's not massively different but you might need to change a couple of things here and there. This video might help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kk7vCHvof4

As I say in the video, nearly all of this song is based on common fingerpicking patterns which I covered in a recent video. So that might be worth looking at if you need a bit of extra help with some of the techniques involved here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/10-essential-47156346

I've tabbed out the intro, verse and chorus more or less note-for-note from the recording. After that it really just repeats. And I've gone for simple chord names just to reflect the basic harmony rather than always absolutely theoretically correct names. 

Have fun, and speak next week!

Try doing finger exercises over and over until you get fluid with them. First week you may be damning yourself but the next week You might surprise yourself.

What a great lesson. Thank you for always coming up with something incredible.

Fantastic, Adrian. I love this Nico version although my wife for some odd reason finds it, I quote, " bloody awful"! I'll have fun trying to play it (quietly, far away from my wife). Thanks.

Enjoyed the 'branding' attempt at the start! I saw this great documentary about Gram Parsons some years back. At one point he made this music video which was pretty flagrantly an attempt to imitate Jagger/Richards, perhaps stemming from their time together during the Exile sessions. Anyhow, it was the saddest goddam thing I ever saw, just a terrible fit for him. Unfortunately the nature of his genius limited his market share. We subscribers value your unique content, meticulous approach, as well as your temperament and style. So don't change! Besides, the kind of guy/gal with that style probably wouldn't get this and I know you do...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyZspqjtG2k
