Picking pattern for each chord is essentially repeated throughout the song. She deviates sometimes on the
higher strings. What is important for the flavour of the song is to follow the order of plucking on the
bassier strings. The pattern below is an example of a Verse, just apply the same patterns to the Chorus
(including for D MajorD and DmDm).
