also thank you to @beachcomb for the suggestions
There are a couple ways to play the main pattern I think the most accurate
is:
- no barre chords
- use open A string instead of stretching to 5th fret of E string
- use thumb or index finger for walking bass notes at frets 2 and 3
D5 Aadd4/C# Bm7 D5/A Gsus2 D/F# E7sus4
e |--------------------------------------------|
B |--3-----3-------3----3------3-----3-----3---|
G |--2-----2-------2----2------2-----2-----2---|
D |--0-------------0----0------0-----0-----0---|
A |--------4-------2----0----------------------|
E |----------------------------3-----2-----0---|
another way to play it:
- barre 2nd fret with index finger (alternatively use a capo @ 2 covering all
strings EXCEPT low E)
- the C#m#5b9 could also be an Asus4/C#
D C#m#5b9 Bm7 D/A G7o3 F#m#5 E9sus4 Asus4/C#
e |--x---x------x----x-----x------x----x---| e|--5--|
