Here<br/> is what I responded. This should clarify a few things.<br/> <br/> I play the Bm-A-G progression in one of 2 ways. (I usually further<br/> enhance the A by playing Asus2)<br/> <br/> Bm with open high 'e' (This certainly has several real names but I'm<br/> self taught and don't need to deal with them. OLGA is great but it is<br/> not GUITAR magazine).<br/> <br/> 0 Or 0<br/> 3 0<br/> 4 7<br/> 4 9<br/> x 9<br/> x x<br/> <br/> The A (high open 'e')<br/> <br/> 0 Or 0 Or Asus2 0<br/> 2 5 0<br/> 2 6 2<br/> 2 7 2<br/> 0 7 0<br/> x x X<br/> <br/> The G (high 'e')<br/> <br/> 0<br/> 3<br/> 4<br/> 5<br/> 5<br/> x<br/> <br/> Playing the tune this way sounds a lot closer to the recording.<br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
