Playing the Introduction
Let's try the first two measures.
We'll follow the directional marking and play the introduction three times.
The techniques that you are using in the introduction are the key to practicing the rest of the song.
If you can hold notes over, it's usually correct to do so.

In the first practice measure, there are no rests, and when there are no moments of rest present, the sound should be continuous.
When you play in this manner, you are playing the notes as the composer intended with no pauses or breaks in the music.
The articulation marking for this type of playing is the word 'legato', which means smooth and connected.

Measure number 8 is similar; your picking hand continues alternating direction and acts as a conductor to help you with the timing and continuity of the piece.
So when you play this measure, the up strokes are silent.

Extending from the face of the headstock, a post is a cylinder with a small eyelet for threading the string.
The string is wound around the post with enough wraps to create friction, so the string will not slip.

The Roman Numeral 'III' indicates that the note G Third Fret on beat number 1 should be played with your fretboard hand in third position.
When you play in third position, the fingers of your fretboard hand take the following assignments:
Your first finger plays notes on fret number 3.
Your second finger plays notes on fret number 4.
Your third finger plays notes on fret number 5.
And your fourth finger plays notes on fret number 6.

REPET
CH8_L4_PG5
Let's try this device on a group of notes and use repetition on each motive.
The first motive begins on beat number 1 with the note F Third Fret and ends on the '&' of beat 2 with the note G Open.
We don't need to play this little group at performance tempo yet, so we will slow down the tempo for this exercise.
Let's play this motive four times.

CH6_L2_PG12_A
Music also uses a clock, but a music clock usually has fewer numbers.
The top number of the meter determines how many numbers the clock will display.
In this song, there are four beats in a measure, so our music clock will have four numbers.
