You play the first two notes with a pinch, and this is the only pluck you use. The rest of the notes in the figure are achieved with hammer-ons and pull-offs. If there is any confusion consult the video - An easier version of this figure can be played as follows - 0h1p0 The timing is the same for both the actual and the easy figure. Variations Sometimes instead of F, Jansch just repeats E. For the first B in each verse, Jansch plays the following: e|----------------| B|fg1-------------| G|------2---0-----| D|----0-------0---| A|----------------| E|3-------3-------| ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend
