How To Play "Be Good or Be Gone" by Fionn Regan

I made this video really quickly, so the entire song is not here. There are really only slight variations from what I show in this video. You should be able to pick the rest up by listening to the song.

I am playing along with the version that is on "The End Of History" Album.

CAPO ON THE FIRST FRET! (NOTE: if you are playing along with the music video, put the capo on the 2nd fret, and if you are playing along with some of the live versions put the capo on the third fret)

These are the chords that you hold throughout the verse and the chorus.

G - 300030
Bm - X24030
Am - X02210
D - XX0232

Am - X02210
??? - X20010
C - X32010


That is basically it. I really dont know how/want to write out the picking part. If you can not figure it out I suggest watching the opening of the video when I do play the song more slowly.

Thanks for watching.

Great but I wish the plucking style had like a name or something that I could practice. Can get the chord shapes no problems. Just cant figure out what I; supposed to do with my thlumb on the right hand. Really annoying.
