Chords

Source Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onp8LEbsNX8 The Tutorial is pretty good, but if you're like me and need your picking patterns written down, here you go. Basically every chord is picked in a specific pattern, except the C-chord which is sometimes played in an alternative pattern. I include the alternative patterns according to Paste Studios performance (see Source material). Used chords and their patterns are: C
