this is from sufjan's all delighted people ep-- its not as complicated as it sounds because what im posting is just the main guitar part and parts of the second guitar part-- which is supplemented on the album with a few other guitars and a banjo i believe guitar 1 is all finger picked in a simple pattern with just alternating thumb and index finger-- also use your index finger on your fret hand to hold down the high e and B strings on the first fret at the same time hope this all makes sense main guitar: e-------------1----------1----------1----------1-| B--------1----------1----------1----------1------| G----------2----------2----------2----------2----| D------------------------------------------------| A-----3----------3----------3----------3---------| E------------------------------------------------| e-------------3----------3----------1----------1-| B--------1----------1----------1----------1------| G----------2----------2----------2----------2----| D------------------------------------------------| A-----2----------2----------2----------2---------| E------------------------------------------------| e-------------1----------1----------1----------1-| B--------1----------1----------1----------1------| G----------2----------2----------2----------2----| D------0----------0----------0----------0--------| A------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------| e-------------1----------1----------1----------1-------------| B--------1----------1----------1----------1------------------| G----------2----------2----------2----------2----------------| D------------------------------------------------------------| A-----2----------2----------2----------2---------<-----------| theres an occasional E------------------------------------------------ --0p2---| pull off here on the A string ^this carries through the whole song, including chorus here's some of the second guitar's parts: during this line and the one after it guitar one: e-------------1----------1----------1----------1-| B--------1----------1----------1----------1------| G----------2----------2----------2----------2----| D------0----------0----------0----------0--------| A------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------| guitar two does this: e------------------------5---3---1----3---------------| B-----------------------------------3----3-3----1-3-1-| G-----------------------------------------------------| D-----------------------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------| one final thing i'll share is the little slide heard occasionally during the verse-- it goes like this: e---------------8s7---5s3-----------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------| G-----------------------------------------------------| D-----------------------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------| good luck with all this-- its the first tab i did completely without other sources so yeah-- also it isn't meant to be a walk through every note in the song so just take whats here and work with it in your own way ps-- the other guitar parts are pretty easy too even though i didnt post them-- for example the electric guitar part can be easily played on the high e and b strings alone-- again good luck
