Chords:
[D5/A] [Csus2/D] [G/D] [Em7] [Dsus4/E] [Csus4add2] [Cadd2]
|D--0-------0-------0----0---0----------0----------0---| |B--3----===3-------3----0---3----------1----------1---| |G--2-------0-------0----0---0----------0----------0---| |D--0-------0-------0----0---2----------3----------2---| |A--0-------3-------2----2---x----------3----------3---| |D--x-------x-------x----2---x----------x----------x---|
She plays D5/A three different ways in this song:
1)Straight; as noted above
2) Hammer-on the A note on the G string like this:
[D5/A]
|D--0----| |B--3----|
|G--0h2--|
|D--0----| |A--0----| |D--x----|
3) Hammering on like above but then dropping the D note on the B string to a C and then returning to the
full chord:
This does not account for rhythm. It's pretty simple to hear though.
