I tried playing it again like you sugested. The chords are correct.I'm just stuck with the style you're suggesting.To be honest I'm not even close to what you would call a aclomplished player.But I mostly use alternating bass in my fingerpicking style. just never seemed to be able to get in the rythm.Sorry that I offended you just want to be honest.
