If I were You
by Chris Knight
Picking pattern
chords
G - 320033
C - x32010
D - xx0232
t = thumb i = index
the middle finger can also be used on the treble E
instead of the index finger if you prefer using 3
fingers for picking.
This is a very basic tab of the way Chris is playing.
He occasionally varies and in the recording I am working
off of, his voice can drowned out the guitar, so its
difficult to hear sometimes.
This should give an idea of the style of picking he is using.
I tried to indicate the rythym above the tab.

I'm actually positive that this song (on Trailor Tapes 1 anyways) is recorded in Standard (kind of flat though) With chords D, G, A
I don't think Chris Knights owns a tuner.... Which is awesome! -mn62049 | 11/14/2012 | Its possible that my mp3 of the song is different than what you've heard. When I tabbed this I ended up with a capo on the fifth fret to get to the chord progression I used. Your chord progression is the same as mine, just in a different key (if thats the right term : me = almost musically illiterate.) Time permiting, I would like to get another mp3 of this and try and tab a more complete version. Other things have taken me away from guitar playing. I really need (and want) to get back to it. Thanks for commenting.
Dave H -DaveWH | 11/14/2012 | Just checked on iTunes. I definitely used a different recording than the one you mentioned. I tabbed this in 2003. My mp3 came from the album "A Pretty Good Guy" from 2001. The clip I listened to of "The Trailer Tapes" is lower in pitch (probably not capoed) and it didn't sound finger picked like I tabbed. -DaveWH | 11/14/2012 |
