Midi full speed   Midi half speed

The little 's are generated by the tab program when I make notes hold over, and the midi files are too, so what you see is exactly what you hear. The song itself starts on an Em chord (the VI chord), so the F#m (7thsus4) to B7 make for an interesting way to get to it as both those chords are 'borrowed' from another key.

The picking hand is a little jerky in the Flash, but I'm using the obvious fingers at all times: thumb for the bass notes, index - middle - ring for all others. The melodic line is usually part of a ringing chord and the simplified chords in the tab are really the only moves my left hand makes. The detail is within the chord.
