Kathy's Song Guitar Lesson

Kathy’s song is perfect for the intermediate fingerpicking. It has lots of fast moving chords to navigate which is really fun but at the same time can be quite tricky to get to grips with. What makes the song somewhat easier is that it more or less uses the same fingerpicking pattern throughout and the pattern, once learnt, isn’t too demanding.
