When I'm playing finger style I want to make sure that I'm plucking the strings with the right fingers, which is not always the case when I closely examine my right hand action. Even though the Here There Everywhere video was a bit blurry I still managed to freeze frame the right hand positions and figure out which fingers you are using for all your notes. When you get a chance or if anyone else knows, can you please check the attached pdf file of the tab and check that I am using the correct fingering. The fingering for the right hand is noted below the tab and the chord fingering is above the tab.


I find that the right hand finger action is the most difficult for the beginner and not so obvious as for the more experienced players.

Thanks again
Hi toxicity ...

How did you do the PDF? Did you open the GP4 file and work on it?

Your picking fingering isn't quite right ... I didn't go through the whole because I've got so many things going on right now and it needs close scrutiny, but right at measure 1 there's a descrepancy. It should read:

TA --- I --- M --- A --- TA --- I --- M

I can see that quite clearly in the movie, blurry as it is. The Thumb only plays the two bass notes, whereas you have it playing 3 notes ... to me there's no mistaking that the opening four notes are TA-I-M-A. I guess I should make the movies clearer in the future.

For those wondering, it's:

T = Thumb
I = Index
M = Middle
A = Ring
