This is the picking pattern I use, the beats appearing on the top two rows and the
fingerings on the bottom two:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1
/ .(/). / .(/). /
4 23 4 4 23 4 4
1 1 1 1 1
In the actual recording, the pattern changes from verse to chorus, but I haven't
yet figured it out. The above transcription is truly only half of the verse
fingering, but I play it throughout and it sounds good enough, if not entirely
authentic. Gungor himself is much more melodic in his playing; but this chord
sheet should fit the bill until a more talented guitarist comes along and improves
it.
