Chords

Hi folks, I was very happy that Joan went to NYC to support OWS and in fact really happy that someone filmed her with a perfect angle so we can see at last the chords she plays. Especially, the Esus4 chord that makes it sound so particular. You will notice that her capo is on 4th, but she is, as usual, half a tone down, so put yours on 3rd. See the video at: time you read this). The fingerpicking pattern as she played at woodstock is easy and I tabbed it here for you. She sometimes plays the E*** part, as I named it, in a simplier way, but I thought I'd show you how it goes. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to drop me a line at [email protected] for comments or just to say hi! Cheers to all Joan fans! Pierre S. _________ Capo 3th Esus4 (022200)
