Guitar 2/25

Instead of continuing on my quest to learn to read music, i took a break to try to learn "Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis?" by The Gaslight Anthem. The song has a really strange rhythm to it, not unlike the first part of the Fibonacci sequence. It sounds simple enough when it was explained to me, but I had to struggle with it to even get kinda close to sounding normal. Luckily the fingering pattern was relatively simple. Combining them proved to be a bit of a struggle though primarily because my ring finger is kinda fat and gets stuck behind my middle finger. Instead of going on a finger diet, I'm trying to hold my guitar in a different way that allows for more room for fingers, but it's rather uncomfortable.
