hey everyone, just looking for some help with playing man of the hour, i'm an intermediate player, been playing for 8 months or so....anyways, in the following tab for example, how do you play the parts in C where the A string is skipped, and in G where it shows to play low and high E at the same time on the 3rd. Get what I'm saying??



C G C G

    It is played using fingerstyle. The thumb plays the low strings and the first, second, third and sometimes the little finger plays the high strings. I.e. each string is played individually. You can do a passable strummed version of man of the hour if you mute the strings-do this by making sure that when fretting a note in the chord that a string you don't want to sound is muted by having a finger which is sounding a note resting on it. Try G major chord but remove your first finger (the note B on the A string) and rest your middle finger on the A string as well as fretting the low G note on the low E string.
