Picked with the thumb and two fingers using the following
basic pattern. The 1st string is hardly ever played.
------------------------------2------------1---------------------T-------------------------------T----------------
12-string vs 6-string note:
You're not going to get the same sound with a 6-string as you
would with the 12-string, and more than just the lack of fullness.
If you play on a 6-string you will think that Paul is playing
notes on the 1st and 2nd strings that are in fact being played by
the thumb hitting the high-octave bass strings. Examples of this
are the first C note of the Cmaj7 run, the E note in the A-Asus2
and the G note in the C* as described below.
C* note: picked as follows:
-----------2------- Paul plays this as a standard open C chord.
-----1------------- However, the thumb striking the 3rd string
--------T---------- emphasizes the high-G string on the 12-string
------------------- guitar. If you are playing this on a 6-string
--T---------------- guitar you can get a similar sound by playing
------------------- a CaddG (032013) rather than (032010).
