"New York" by Ryan Adams

Difficulty: Easy

Intro/Verse

Notice in the video and below that if you position your A chord the correct way, the D/A chord isn't difficult to finger. You will want to use your 1st finger on the second fret on the D string. Use your 2nd finger for the second fret on the G string. Finally, use your 3rd finger for the second fret on the B string. When you transition chords, then all you have to do is slide your 2nd and 3rd finger, lift off with your 1st finger, and use your 4th finger to play the fourth fret on the D string.

Chorus

Here is what both guitar parts sound like together :

Guitar 2

This guitar part is played during the D chord in the last two measures of the chorus above. Use your 1st finger and have it barred over the G and B strings the entire time. That will help you play the double sevens on the G and B string later. Use your 4th finger to play the tenth fret, then just move it to the ninth and play that twice. Now you can see that if you barred your 1st finger, you are playing the next part that transitions into the next measure below. Just don't forget the rests!
