WILDWOOD FLOWER

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
  -On​s & 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)

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.​
