JOE WILES: We're now at our number 5 in our top 80 most downloaded guitar tabs of all time, and it's "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's. Let's take a look. It's another fingerpicking acoustic song. We're going to start with an open D string with our thumb. Then on the 2nd fret of the G string, we're going to have our index finger. On the 3rd fret of the B string, we're going to have our middle finger. We're just going to go back and forth between these two--with these three fingers. It sounds like this. Four times in a row. Then we release our middle finger and pad the 2nd fret of the G and B string with our index finger, bring our ring finger up to the 4th fret of the D string and do the same motion with our right hand. Together, slowly, they sound like this. And back. Join us in our next segment, we're going to take a look at "Fade to Black" by Metallica. See you there.
