💡 Playing Tips
Fingerpicking Pattern (3/4 waltz):
Use P–I–M–I–A–M pattern (Thumb–Index–Middle–Index–Ring–Middle).
Thumb (P) plays the bass note (E/A/D).
I, M, A pluck G, B, E for a rolling waltz rhythm.
Strumming:
Soft Down – Down-Up – Down pattern, accenting the first beat.
Style:
Keep it gentle and flowing, like a church bell — let each chord resonate fully.
Ending:
Finish with a slow G chord arpeggio, letting it fade naturally.
