General

This is a session favourite and should be part of your core repertoire.

Right Hand

• Reel timing, so alternating - T I T I T I T I
• Some index cross-over picking in the A part.
• I slip into alternating 3-finger picking for the Em shape in the B part. A good example of not making it more difficult than it needs to be.

Left Hand

• A Part played out of the D chord position, 2nd fret.
• B Part moves up the neck to the D and Em shapes at the 7th fret.
