Thank you! It didn't help that the tutorials I watched all said different patterns, all of which were more complex. I figured that meant I was missing something. Probably they were just looking to mix it up a bit, since without the backing of a band, it would probably be a little repetitive to do the one he's using for the whole song.
PS I kinda enjoy John Denver with my eyes open ;-) but that's a whole 'nother topic for another forum, LOL.
