Season Poem--Gregory and the Hawk
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a beautifully written song but also quite difficult to play.
(You will find that the transitions from one position
to the next can be rather tricky. Sometimes, when you
have to hold down on the same fret for the 5th and 6th
string (like 4th fret), you'll want to do so with your
thumb. Other times you can barre them with your index finger.
Take note that depending upon your barring or thumbing, the 5th
fret on the B string could be played easier by plucking the
open e string.
Also you can try to keep your middle finger on the 3rd fret
of the 3rd string since that note is played throughout most of
the song. Try and see what works for you.)
