This song is insidious! It took me a long time to play it right! It would seem very simple, a few chords, but arpeggiating them and making them stay in the bar is really a considerable pitfall! The key is to anticipate the next chord with the mind and muscle memory, I say this to those who find themselves with the problem of changing chords while standing in the bar. Think about the next chord while you are playing the previous one!

Hey so you've done two of the songs of Atom Heart Mother, will you do Summer '68 next, please?

Love this beautiful song, and it’s the first finger picking song I’m learning. It will take me some time, but I’m getting there! Thanks for the great lesson.
