Brett Dennen - Fig Tree

brett fingerpicks the song when he plays it , for the most part you should fingerpick the
two notes of a chord then play the rest of the chord together , but this doesn’t go for
whole song so mess around with it until you find a way that sounds good to you . these
should be about right , not sure if they’re 100% accurate but they’re pretty close .
is a great song , so have fun with it!
