If you have a high C string (or simply want to tune all your strings up) it is easier to
this variation bit as:
C|---------------0h5h6---|
G|-0-------------------4-|
D|-5^-5-5--6-5-----------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|
Variation 2:
G|-0------------5-3-|

E|------------------|
V V V
