Neon - Solo Acoustic Version As performed on the Carson Daily Show on NBC Tabbed By Adis K. cerrenus@hotmail.com 4.28.04 Verse finger pattern -------------------- Basically in the picking you only use your thumb and index finger but the thumb has two purposes, to slap the C string (lower E tuned to C) and to pick the G string. You use your index to pick the D and B strings. e|x B|Index Finger Pick G|Thumb Pick (sometimes Index Finger pick after Thumb) D|Index Finger Pick A|x C|Thumb slap The G string example where the Index Finger sometimes is used is on a chord looking like this: e|--------------| B|--------6-----| Index Pick G|------5----5--| Thumb Pick, Index Pick D|----8---------| Index Pick A|--------------| C|--7-----------| Thumb Slap The second "5" on the G string is picked with your index finger.
