Also, all the chords that are only open strings are played with upstrokes, this is important to get the right rhythm and feel of the part. ---x---x------------------------------------------------------------------------3---------------------- ---x---x------------x---x---x---x----(x)---x--------(x)---x-------x---x----3--------------------------- ---x---x---x-------x---x---x---x----(4)--------4---(2)--------2---x---x---4---4---7---9---11----------- ---2-----------2----4-------5--------(5)-------------(5)------------5--------5---7---x---x----x-------- ---2----------------------------------------------------------------------------5---5---5---7----9----- ---x----------------------------------------------------------------------------3---3------------------ 2nd time through is the same but at the end this progression replaces the ascending octave chords ---5---------------------------------------------------- ---7---------------------------------------------------- ---7----x----------------------------------------------- ---7----4-----then slide down into next phrase---------- ---5----5----------------------------------------------- ---5---------------------------------------------------- The final time through this progression, end with this chord: ----7---- ----7---- ----8---- ----9---- ----9---- ----7---- 2nd part of End: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------3------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------3------------------ ---x---x---x-------------------------x---x---x-------------------------------4----2--2------------- ---2---2---2----12---12slide11---2---2---2----11--11slide14---12-----5---4---7--------------------- ---2---2---2-------------------------2---2---2-------------------------------5----5---5------------ ---x---x---x----10---10slide9-----x---x---x----9----9slide12----10----3----2---2------------------- The only difference in the 4 measure of the end are the changes in the octave chord progression, which I'm sure you can hear, and they are: --------------------- --------------------- ----7---7slide9------ --------------------- ----5---5slide7------ --------------------- ----------------------- ----8---8slide10------- ----------------------- ----------------------- ----7---7slide9-------- -----------------------
