        Dawes - A Little Bit of Everything (acoustic fingerpicking)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He picks the melody notes in the verse & chorus differently each time throughout so
for the chorus I've just put the notes of the chord you land on for each change, the
bass part & the main melody lines that seem to be repeated.
Just pick any high notes of each chord that you're on while keeping the bass constant
& it should sound good.
Verse is the same as the intro without that little start bit and less pull-offs.
Listening closely to his playing you can hear all the cool little intricate picking
around the chord. (intricate for me anyway! haha)

Try playing only the bass part (on E,A,D strings, with thumb) through the chord
changes first & get that down then add in the high melody.

Note the use of his thumb to fret the F & G chords.

* Not sure if he plays this in the Untidy Desk version but he plays it on the Rhythm & Roots
one and it sounds really great.
**open A(3rd) on the first F chord maybe? Still have the 5th degree (C) on the B string.
