Hi, my name is Gary Shutt and I'm going to play for you Van Halen's Little Guitars.
So everything is a half step down, the bomb string is another whole step, and a capo at
the fourth fret.
[F] So you got this.
You play like a standard D chord.
You get that sound.
[Gb] Using a standard American Fender Strat, modified with noiseless Seymour Duncan single coils.
[F] These are awesome.
No [G] noise.
[F]
I'm going to show you the right hand finger picking technique.
You're going to hold your pick as normal [N] and you're going to use your inner two, your ring
and your middle for the finger picking part.
So if you fret your D major chord, [F]
you're going to pick the top two strings, second
two, and then the middle two.
