Chords

D* = Do as a barre chord at the fifth fret. While holding the chord, on the fourth string, put your pinkie down on the fourth string eighth fret,then play it and move your pinkie up to the ninth fret, then back down to the eighth, to get that nice ascending/descending thing before the solo. (it's D to D#5 to D6 to D#5 to D) [Intro] D Dadd2 G A B
