Some Rainy Day - First foray into jazz!

 

I consider this song to be my first foray into more of a jazz guitar style:

 

 Through the verses I pluck the chords three strings at a time with thumb pick, 2nd and 3rd fingers.  I have simply identified the chords by fret number to save space: 



The first verse is a slow introduction with the chords played in a simple arpeggio way: T 2 3

The other verses are chords plucked simultaneously by thumb, 2nd and 3rd fingers.  I use the 2nd and 3rd fingers so that the 1st or index finger is free for strumming if needed.

For the chorus sections starting with "Saving it up" I change to a slightly different picking pattern:  T-3 2 3
