Chords

these are my very first chords and honestly i don't know much about playing guitar, i really just watched Keaton's CARDINAL SESSION billions of times and this is what i got from it. his picking pattern is something like this, only a lot more complicated: C
E-----------------|
B----------1------|
G-------0-----0---|
D----2----------2-|
A-3---------------|
E-----------------|
he does some special stuff, watch the video to figure it out: the F is always like this: (x-x-3-2-1-0) so it's pretty easy, no barre chords needed also if there's something like Am-G-F, it means that the chords changes are quicker, i couldn't come up with a better way to make that clear. please contact me for any corrections. standard tuning capo 5 [intro:] C E Am G-F C G G [Verse I]
