Capo on 2nd fret (Key: D MajorD major) There's not a lot of structure to the picking on this one. The important thing is to keep a steady beat with the bass notes while filling in with the fingers and not worrying too much about hitting just one string. He seems to use the fingers like an upstroke pick.
