Snow Patrol: Chasing Cars
Here is another simple song which does not require any movement of the left hand, only finger changes. As you can see in the tablature the notes are constantly swapping between only the D and B strings like a simple arpeggio. Try this with a plectrum and finger picking, see what you prefer.
You may notice that I have opted for 5th fret of the B rather than open high E (same note). This is so you don't bump into the open E and the strings are closer.
Vital tip: Chords; don't form your A with the usual 'straight line' finger arrangement. Form the second '2-1-2' triangular chord first then bring the 1st fret finger into place for the A so it stays on the same string.
