Hi Adam... I can't help you with that particular bit of music.. for me there isn't enough information there to get an idea of what the book is suggesting but someone else might be able to figure it out for you.

In the meantime, have you checked out Lisa McCormick's lessons on acoustic fingerpicking for beginners? They are excellent. Very easy to follow and clearly explained:
