Chords

Tuned a half step down. The picking in this song is ad-lib, so this is just the basic chord structures and hand postions used Mess around with it to suit yourself, it sounds better if you brush 2 or 3 strings together sometimes. Also, he hits that high E string almost rhythmically as a pedal tone. Some double stops and hammer ons from open string to whatever note adds some flair. It helps to use your thumb for the bass note when playing fig1 so you can fret the 3rd fret on the high E Chords: G 320003 C 332010 D* 554030 (C shape up two frets)
