Helpful Tips

This is a great beginner fingerstyle piece that can be easily learned in an hour. I’ve always been a fan of this song (and the T.V. show!) and have been meaning to arrange it for quite some time. It’s a great example of a 2 chord song with a strong melody. It’s important to note that this song has a swung feel.

I am using a three finger approach for right hand picking. The trickiest part may be to keep the swung feel steady throughout the song. I’d recommend watching the notation/tab in the on-screen tab viewer to help you get accustomed to this type of playing. Singing measures before playing them is always helpful!
