Hi,

I'm only new to playing guitar and I have been give a pattern for picking in a music book that has a 4/4 beat and goes like:

---------a---------------------|--------m-------------
---------m------------|--------|-------a---------------
---|-----|-------------|--------i-------|--------------
---|-----|-------------|---------------|-------------
---|-----|-------------|---------------|-------------
---a-------------------p---------------|--------------

I can't seem to get the beat right and have no idea how to pick this to make it sound like the music.

I know the a is ring finger, m is middle etc... but what is the beat of this, I can't make it sound like the music I'm playing.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Adam
