Chords

* denotes power chord The chord I called BaddF# is a (partially) barred B major played with the F# on the high string (9th fret). It looks like this:
E--9-------------|
B--7-------------|
G--8-------------|
D--9-------------|
A----------------|
E----------------|
Strum that chord very slowly, accenting the F#. Watch the timing on some of the it can be tricky. Please rate!
