album recording is not capo’d .
tuning note :
detune E to match open low ds .
fret high E at 2 and detune G to match open F# .
don’t bother with stuff in brackets until you’re ready to .
chords aren’t named conventionally . each one references the string and fret of the
root . pay attention to the chord guide .
A5 – 4 – 5 – 0 – is the hammer on sequence that leads to the second half of the progression .
