Hi Edie,

hm, looks like a guitar tab for seven strings. So the bottom line must be a "B" note instead of an "E" (in normal tuning). If you play with a pick, you must play two notes at the same time (called "doublestops") together with one finger, in this case I would use the pick and the middelfinger. Otherwise without a pick the thumb and index or middle finger.

Hope this was the right answer for you and helpful.

Mirko

Yes I got agree, they are doublestops, I would probly slide down the fret board (I'm a blues player)


Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.
