{comment:The Outlaw, by Larry Norman, from "Only Visiting this
Planet"}
{comment:The G/C sounds better in this song than just C. If you make
your G with your pinkie,}
{comment:ring and middle fingers, you can easily change to G/C by
fretting your index finger}
{comment:on the 2nd string/1st fret, and then moving your middle
finger from the 5th string}
{comment:to the 4th string/2nd fret. Your ring finger will muff the
5th string.}
{comment:If you don't want to fool with the G/C, you can use C.}
Fingerstyle:
{comment:Just hold the chord shown and pluck the stings by number.
The strings are numbered}
{comment:1 to 6. String 1 is the high E string. It is the thinnest
string, on the bottom}
{comment: as you hold the guitar. Strings count up from there, 2 3 4
5 ... The 6th string}
{comment:is the low (deepest sound) E string. It is the thickest
string, on the top as you }
{comment:hold the guitar. You will have to figure out which fingers
you like to use for }
{comment:each string. I tend to use my ring finger for the 1st sting,
middle finger for the 2nd,}
{comment:index finger for 3rd string, and my thumb for the 4th, 5th
and 6th strings.}
