It’s onlypicked during the first couple lines of the verses. When you hit thesolo "C", it’s all down strokes-preferably with your fingers. When youpick "G", pluck the low E once, then pluck only the top threestrings-E,B,G. When you pick "C", you should only pick it for a couplenotes. You pluck the D,A,G strings and go right into picking the "D"chord with the top three strings. If you’re totally confused, don’tworry. It’s not tough.
