This is an instrumental fingerpicking style arrangement of the Springsteen song, loosely based on this cover by Passenger.
This fingerpicking lesson includes full hand-written tablature for this arrangement and an extensive and detailed video breakdown of the song (1hr 31min).
Key techniques in this genre are examined as they appear in the song. Using songs as the basis for learning and breaking down techniques is a far more motivating way to develop as a guitarist than by practicing isolated exercises.
You can check out a sample of the tab below and samples of the video lesson to the right.
Get your own digital copy of either just the tablature or the tablature and the full 1hr 31min video lesson by making a contribution through PayPal below. You can then instantly download the files for yourself without the hassle of subscriptions, creating accounts or the special players that other lesson websites make you use. You can play the video file however you wish, though I recommend using VLC which allows you to easily adjust speed playback (far more than most built-in lesson players) and also lets you use the chapters embedded in the video.
