I like to strum the first verse with no pick and then use a pick for the chorus and the rest of the song. The end of this song leads directly into "Carry That Weight," with no break between the two songs. ########################################### Nathan Luke Huebner ## ## ## # ### ## ## ## nhuebner@umich.edu ## ### ## ### #### ### ### ## ### ## ### ## ## ### ## #### ### ## ## ### ##
