                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I hammer-on the low E string 2nd.fret with my thumb(fretting hand).  After the hammer-on, my thumb(Picking hand) plays the open A string.  All the while,  the A chord is barred(not played) with my Index finger.  Next, I pluck the A note(3rd.string,2nd.fret) with my Index finger(Picking hand).  Next, I hammer-on and pull-off the C# note(C#hDpC#)(2nd.string, 2nd. and 3rd.fret) with my middle finger, then play the A note (3rd.string,2nd.fret) with my Index finger(Picking hand).  That way my fretting hand is in a good position to just move up the neck for the notes on the 4th. and 5th. frets, always using my thumb(fretting hand) on the low E string.  I'll play the 2nd. string 5th. fret with my ring finger(fretting hand) and the 3rd. string 4th. fret with my middle finger(fretting hand). <br>The (  )'s may seem redundant but sometimes we get confused with new ideas.  I know I do.]]></content:encoded>

The rest you know.<br>I play this similar to the way missileman plays it, but I use my middle on the G and ring on the B, and hammer with my pinky.  This may seem a little difficult at first, but it gives me economy of motion because my fingers are then in the perfect position to move up and fret the 4xx45x using index / middle / ring, and then the 2xx22x and much of the rest of the song with the same fingering. <br><br>Interesting how many variations there can be for playing the same few notes.]]></content:encoded>

Your post confused me for a while. I was thinking how are you hammering with your thumb?<br>Then It hit me, you are refering to your picking hand right?<br>My post was just how I fret.<br>I use my thumb on the low E and A strings , index on the G and middle on the B. for my picking hand.

Ya, you're right.  Sorry for the confusion, I just kind of mixed everything up.  With my picking hand, I tend to play from note to note by alternating my index and thumb, if that makes anymore sense.  <br>I never realized how hard it was to described how to play a song!!]]></content:encoded>

Remember, songs that are easy for some are hard for others.  After awhile I'd go back to those songs, sometimes I'd get them, sometimes I wouldn't.  Sometimes I had to go back to them four or five times before I got the hang of it.  Tears in heaven was one of those songs for me.  But eventually, I cracked it.]]></content:encoded>
