from her 1995 debut , ’dear sir’ . there really is only one chord being used here , and
it’s arpeggiated . she plays around with the notes in A Cmaj7 and then just plays the a root
note and the surrounding strings . the first note plucked at the beginning is just A C
root note ( a string , 3rd fret ) , and she then goes into playing Cmaj7 and alternates between
that and the a root . she also plays several open notes , particularly the G and B string .
instead of bothering to tab it all out , i’ve just charted her hand formations for you .
it’s simple enough that listening to the song should provide you enough to figure out
the pattern she has with the picking . simply put : get down the pattern of her Cmaj7 arpeggio ,
and lift your finger off the a string and continue to play the same pattern .
