Cool - thanks for the advice. Any pointers on where the good lessons are?

You need to easy lessons where you play the bass part separate from the melody part. I would suggest easy song like nine pound hammer and freight train and oh papa.

yo shane,I got finally it after 7 straight nights with my thumb fighting me all the while.(that cussed E&A bass line in the first measures)Then it just happened! So keep trying it and it'll fall into sync by itself.You'll see.When it happens you'll wonder why you had a problem at all!!We just won't tell anyone, will we?Our secret.

It's the thumb that keeps throwing me - the rebellious digit as Tommy Emmanuel calls it!Maybe I should do a few exercises to help free it up musically.

I hear you! I just got Grossman's DVD titled Fingerpicking Blues Guitar Soloswhere he breaks it down really well.So you see, there's hope for us.Look into it! A great investment for me andI've almost got the song down.
