How to play One Step Up Bruce Springsteen Guitar Lesson + Tutorial

This is my acoustic take on Bruce Springsteen's tune One Step Up from the Tunnel of Love album. Great song. Fairly easy as well if you know some basic chord shapes. This one goes out to Lost In The Flood's front man Frank Bergonzi.
Kenny Chesney has done a cover of this song as well. I haven't tried playing it to the version he recorded, but based on what I've listened to, I believe the two are very similar in terms of song structure. However, I do think Kenny has massaged the flow of the song in certain areas but not enough to change it greatly. Let me know on this!
I am using my Alvarez MD65 acoustic guitar.
Like, subscribe and hit the bell for updates, especially when Frank and I do our version of this in the near future.

Hi can you tell me the picking pattern pls? I couldn't see it in the video. Also what is the strumming pattern? Tks JJ

[@sixstringfun]

Yes I can. Will need to sit with the guitar hopefully tonight. But off the top of my head, the pattern should repeat for all chords in the progression. It "should" be 6th string, 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 4th and 3rd. The notes on the second string give it the droning sound. I'll confirm though.

[@JohnstownJohnny]

Tks much

[@mikenethery9418]

@@sixstringfun video pattern is 6, 3, 4,1, 2, 3.

[@mikenethery9418]

good pattern but noticed struck b string called a d...then u changed convention to 1-6 strings...no confusion thereafter....but enjoyed your rendition...much appreciated...p.s. take a breath and slow down a bit....thanks again.

[@sixstringfun]

Hi Mike. Thanks for checking the vid out. One of my favs from Bruce. Yeah... I need to slow down a bit. lol. This was one of my first vids. I think as I got more comfortable I got a bit slower. A t least that's what I tell myself :)

[@MrWookieblade]
