Confusion: Live Unreleased Songs (Improved) Live London 3-3-00 Tabbed by: [email protected] I put two asterisks after the chord name, to mark the barred chords. Or you dont have to play any barred chords, and just play the normal versions. I think its really up to personal preference with this song, but you can definately hear him slide up to that barred Am.
