- Back to the A pattern then it's just rock 'n roll from there on in, though
- use the D7 pattern after the rock 'n roll E
-
- Try using different variations on the chords to make it more interesting.
- Such as going from an open E to an E7 plyed as a C7 shape at the fourth fret
- but missing out the barre and hitting the top and bottom open strings.
- Try the same with the A:- play it as an E shape at the 5th but miss out the
- barre (don't hit the open B though). Mess around with it a bit, don't copy it
- slavishly These are useful variations to add during the singing parts.
- If you switch it to E, A7, B, these variations work pretty well.
-
- Hey! what do I know anyway? I only play this stuff and it sounds ok to me!
