Re: hello everyone

Welcome Bigmike! I recommend searching YouTube for "Seminole Wind Acoustic Cover Song". I tried it and found several examples of the song for you to study. If you are  lucky you might find a video where someone actually shows how to play the song. Good luck.

Re: hello everyone

Welcome BigMike.  Anytime you are looking on YouTube for ways to play a song, search for that song and include the word "Lesson" in the search criteria.  There is usually someone who has posted a video on how to play a certain song.  Good luck.

Re: hello everyone

Also try searching using "cover" and you will get people and their guitar, much easier to follow than trying to watch professional musicians and figure out what they are doing. I have not heard that song in years but here are a couple of examples that sound pretty good.

Hey thanks everybody youtube  is a great help.  It sounds like to me its just E G D A , DDD DU throughout the whole song , and when I get that I'll work on the intro .
