Tears in Heaven. How?

[Samster]

Im stuck, how do you play the last 3 nots in that bar. Barring the 4th fret and muting the A D string doesnt sound right so i dont know how to play it :O

Can anyone help?

Hey man, you need to finger pick :) :)

[Akeh]

It's a finget picking song. You could hybrid pick it or finger pick it. Hybrid is where you use your pick in a combination with your fingers.

-------------|
---5-----5---| - Fretted with the ring, picked with the middle
---4-----4---| - Fretted with the middle, picked with the index
-------------|
-------------|
---4--4-----| - Fretted with the index, picked with the thumb

Well, thats how I do it anyway.

Then when it moves back to the 2nd fret I'm actually holding a F#m7 barre chord shape.

Yeah, if you're not finger picking you're doing it wrong. Aes820 knows what he's talking about ^^.

Also, that's an awesome song.

I fret the E string notes with my thumb, but if you watch the unplugged, I'm pretty sure clapton just barres. whatever works best

Ok I sort of have the hang of the problem above btu i have ran into another....

E||--------------------|-----------------------------|
B||--------------------|--------2h3p2----5-----5--2--|
G||--------------------|-----2--------2--4-----4--2--|
D||--------------------|-----------------------------|
A||--------------------|--0--------------------------|
E||----------------0h2-|-----------------4--4-----2--|

I have been wondering how to play the first little bit (before the 445) as fast as eric clapton does. I am using my thumb on each string for the beginining.
