very hard for beginners , but not really hard to play at all .
a simple picking in the same way for all chords .
this is my first tab . feel free to correct if something seems wrong .

introduction :
a chord like “asus2/C” means that you play an A – sus2 chord with a pronounced C –
string for the bass .
so “asus2/C” means you have to play :
