Colorado Girl by Steve Earle
Colorado Girl
This song is in open D tuning (dadf#ad) with a capo on the second fret
There are mainly four core parts that are repeated throughout the song
-Intro
-low part
-high part
-step down
Probably the most important aspect of playing this song is the alternate picking of the
low d strings. Throughout the whole song Steve Earle alternates picking the two low d
with his thumb. This is most likely the thing that will get you and requires a lot of
before getting it constant.
The intro is a combination of the low part and the high part
