SIMON & GARFUNKEL THE OXER (CONTINUED)

TRACKS 65-66

Bars 5 to 43 use the Travis approach to create an accompaniment to the melody. Pick the roots and 5ths on the fourth, fifth and sixth strings with your thumb; use your first, second and third fingers for the third, second and first strings. It’s essentially a repeating pattern, needing only slight adjustments to ensure you’re striking the right notes.
