Hi, I picked up Landslide off of Nevada and I have some questions....

Here is the posting for it.

OK here are my questions. I tried playing this with the tab above
and it sounded right except that "I've been afraid of changing..."
isn't tabbed out.

So Since it looks like part 2 is correct. How do you finger pick
this? I have currently been doing part 1 the following way and it
seems to sound like the real song....

--------------------------
----4----------------i----
------3---------------t---
--5----------------t---t--
-6----------------t-------
--------------------------

t = thumb
i = index finger
m = middle finger
r = ring finger

I just winged it. I am still a beginner and wasn't having
much luck figuring out strumming of songs I thought I'd try 
finger picking.

It actually sounded decent. Sooooooo,if part 2 is correct then how
do I finger pick this and how can I figure out what the fingerings
are for chords like

D7/F# without looking at the chord book.

I thought it was 
D7/F#
-|----|----|----|----|----|----
-|----|-o--|----|----|----|----
-|-o--|----|----|----|----|----
-|----|----|----|----|----|----
-|----|----|----|----|----|----
-|----|-o--|----|----|----|----
E  F    F#

G/B
-|----|----|-o--|----|----|----
-|----|----|-o--|----|----|----
-|----|----|----|----|----|----
-|----|----|----|----|----|----
-|----|-o--|----|----|----|----
-|----|----|----|----|----|----
E  F    F#

	
If this is right, how do I pick this?

I do know that for the most part chords are made of 3
different notes i.e. G chord is G D B Correct?

How also do you figure out a sus chord? Asus2 Gsus4?


Are there any good books on Finger picking? It seems to sound
better for me than strumming. I am having a bitch of a time with
Bar chords. I've been practicing with REM's Texarkanna (sp) and
Seger's "Night Moves" But my wife gives them the big.....

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT! Thanks for playing. Here is Don Pardo 
to tell you about your parting gifts.

Well thats alot of questions what I really want to know is
the correct figerpicking for Landslide.

Thanks much,

Andy
