> The chord voicing is generally: Em7, D and Am7. On Zuma and live,
> variations off the root come in, a la Em, Dsus2, Dsus4, Am7, Am
> Am7sus4, Asus2, etc... So PLEASE play around with it for the rythym
> sections, AND whilst improvising when soloing.
> This was tabbed out using a gut strung beater during my move to a
> new home, so perhaps the positions might not be as suitable as
> they would via an electric, as well as the standard tuning.
