Fun and challenging at the same time, this fingerstyle guitar arrangement starts in C then modulates to G! Lots of stuff is going on in this one and it's full of tasty tidbits...give it a try, won't you?

    Question on the tab — is that a hammer-on or a slide going into the B part? Sounds like a slide to my ear but the tab reads hammer.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.
