To learn to play the "ballad of serenity" on the guitar. The chord pattern is super-easy to pick out, but I don't know where to begin with as far as picking.....
Are you looking for a picking pattern for each chord? Or how to physically pluck at the strings so it makes musical noise as opposed to les musical noise? If the former, I had good luck with Travispicking back when I played guitar, since it's really common in folk music so it tends to sound right. If the latter, all I can suggest is cutting your left fingernails really short and keeping your right ones properly shaped so that you can hold down and pluck the strings respectively.
And it's the former, actually. In a lot of cases, I've been getting guitar "tablature" that is really only a chord selection (like the ballad of serenity), which is easy, but doesen't really approach the way teh song is really played. Alternatively, I can sometimes find real tablature, but it is usually REALLY hard to play exactly, I think because I'm just not used to doing all of the specific things you're supposed to do with a guitar at once. So, the upshot is that I can play the chord pattern to the Firefly song, or I can play the Chocobo theme, because it's only one note at a time. I'll look into the travis picking and see how it works for me....
