finger-pick this one as we need the note on

the second (B) string to sound at the same

time as the bass note; then pick the open

third and first (G and E) strings. This way,

the first three chords would make up one

bar of music while the second three chords

would be in the second bar.

Rhythmic interest comes from the way

the melody emerges on the second (B)

string, while adding in the bassline adds an

ambiguous quality. Played round and round

over eight bars, this could be the backing to

a verse.
