Diamond Rings 2007

capo 4

for the strumming use a simple base – strum down – up style . listen to the song for what
best .

to get it to sound more like the song , i do a hammer – on for the next note after the base
so for G chord i hammer on 2nd fret on a string with 1st finger . for Dsus4/F# hammer on
fret on G string with 2nd finger , etc . so you hammer on right after plucking the base
and before the strum . don’t do this for D and Em , just strum regularly .

chords used :
Em7 Dsus4/F#
