Hi Davey...
Have him play the pattern repeatedly and slow while you video it - possibly your phone has a video function or else your digital camera (unless you have a video recorder). My students bring recorders all the time... Hope this inspires you to create...

You really have to tune your guitar to the Bruce Palmer modal tuning - E, E, E, E, B, E (low to high) - to get the authentic Stills recording sound. It's pretty simple once you have the right tuning. Unfortunately not a lot of other songs in that tuning except Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

Well Im playing in DADDAD ... chords sound good in this tuning ... just cant figure out the finger pic pattern ... something like 6th string 1st 4th 2nd then 6th 3rd 4th 1st ... but that doesnt sound just right to me ?? the chords are easy though ....

I took about 4 lessons back in 1964 when I started , we did not have tabs then . He showed me few things . I started using piano sheet music just for the chord charts and figured out the fingering then a year later took the 4 lessons and was just shown . I used to get out an album or wait for the song to come on the radio and get the bass notes down then figure out the chords then build off that by playing along . I figuered out 4 and 20 but could never tell you how to play it and I use only standard tuning all the other tunings after playing for so long get me lost so I never got into them . They are fun to play around with for me at times but my fingers are on auto pilot for standard tuning.

Thanx Chris !! thanx a whole lot ... I know my instructor is trying to teach me an alternating bass with a melody in it ... but it helps me if i can see it on paper ... this should be a good song to teach me the bass rythum .. the real challenge will be when he ask'e me to sing and play together .... "GOOD FUN"

4 + 20 pattern
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GdJ...nel=DanSerdutz
I recorder this a few years back. Learn those first 20 seconds well and then add the treble notes later. Its easier than you think once you nail that pattern. Cheers.
