hello.
i have been trying to play "fingerpicking (II)" by Georges Bolssens for about 2 days now and i can't get it to sound anything like the sample and it's started to annoy me.

Basically i'm off on the rhythm, but i can't figure out how to play it. And since i'm a beginner, it's not that easy to just play it at 50 rhythms till i get one right.
I think i should play the first 3 notes fast...then pause, then the next 4 fast (repeat), but i'm not sure and it's really frustrating.

The sample sounds awesome...and my interpretation of it...sucks. Any help would be much appreciated.

btw, i can do each separately just fine.
it's the putting them together that kills me =)
also, should i pause between the lefthand finger change or keep flowing fast?

Picking is fun, but difficult.

also, if anyone has any good tutorials or tricks that i should look at as a beginner, please tell me about them =)
