Good Days Chords

Fingerpicking - Please reference the Official Acoustic Nylon Tab to get a feel for the fingerpicking style.
Instead of picking three notes, I typically do four (sixteenth notes), with the last one typically being
the bass note as more of a ghost note. In other words, I like to do an arpeggio of four notes of the chord.
 
 
Playing it with a delay pedal would be super fun and sound more like the record!
 
 
Or, to keep it simple, fingerpick the whole chord claw-style to a jazzy rhythm that makes sense to you. If you
see extensions, focus on the main part of the chord.
