EXPLANATION OF SONG -- WILDWOOD FLOWER It looks harder than it actually is.. you will have more trouble playing it FAST (or real time) than you will actually LEARNING the song or notes. You may have some trouble with the Hammer -Ons & Pull-Offs, but that's primarily because it's Something NEW to you, not because it's difficult. On the TAB sheet, the "H" refers to Hammer-On; the "P" refers to "Pull-Off"... refer to this article to learn more about these techniques.. Introduction to Hammer-Ons & Pull-Offs Keep in mind: on article, it shows a Riff in "G". This is the same Riff we are using in "Wildwood Flower", only it is in "C". To translate, just move all notes -up- one string; and the last note will be "2nd string-1st fret" (C) instead of open 3rd (G) string. (SEE TAB BELOW) TO SAVE SONG : (1) Click on Song-- It opens in seperate page. (2) Right Click on Song. (3) Look for & Click on "Save Image As"... (4) Give it a Name & Pick a Location on Your Computer. Here's a video of Wildwood Flower... thanks to DJ Snider & Terri Jones. Hope to add another version with both hands soon. Hope this helps you. On the VERSE (1ST Section) ___________________________________________________________ PLAYING (right) HAND I am primarily using my THUMB for ALL notes on the right hand &strings 6--5--4--3. (I use Thumb also on 3rd string here). FRETTING (left) HAND On the fret (left) hand, try to utilize the C Chord formation instead of playing individual notes outside of the chord shape. You should be able to HOLD the C Chord shape and pick-up and put-down fingers on notes. Play the 4th string 3rd fret (F) note with your pinky finger while still holding the C Chord. On the CHORUS (2ND Section) ___________________________________________________________ PLAYING (right) HAND I'm primarily using my Middle finger (right hand) on ALL or MOST of the notes. It may be easier for you to try using two fingers (2-middle & 3-ring). FRETTING (left) HAND Once again, I'm HOLDING the C Chord shape, rather than playing outside of the shape. Use your pinky finger (left hand) to fret the notes on the 2nd string. ENDING (Tag or Riff) ___________________________________________________________ If you want, you can ADD a Tag onto the END of the song. If the Hammer-Ons are not working for you, you -CAN- play each note seperately; however, you will SEE that it does NOT sound the same. Refer to the Notes and Link above about Hammer-Ons. Any Questions? THANKS
