*Note:
G [3x0033]: Your middle finger on 3rd fret and 6th string and muting 5th string, ring
pinky on 3rd fret.
Cadd9 or C2 [-3x033]: middle on 3rd fret and 5th string (mute with this finger the 4th
ring and pinky on 3rd fret.
A7sus [-02033]: index on 2nd fret and 4th string, ring and pinky on 3rd fret. (I think
just play the A string and then, the highest 3 strings). [I'm note quite sure about the
of this chord]
Dsus [--0233]: index on 2nd fret and 3rd string, ring and pinky on 3rd fret, middle in
fret, so just lift your pinky and it's D, then put it back really fast and it's Dsus. (I
that in studio version it sounds like D7, but it's a little complicated so this sounds
too and is much easier.)
B5/E [024400]: index in the 2nd fret and 5th string, ring and pinky on 4th fret; for the
[-34400]: doing the previous chord, just press with your middle the 5th string on the
fret.
