Verse Riff
The first and third measures are identical, as are the second and fourth. Here you will use basic chord formations involving Bm, D, and G6.
How To Play It
Begin the first measure by placing your 3rd finger on the “G” string on the fourth fret. Place your 2nd finger on the third fret on the “B” string, and your 1st finger on the second fret on the “high E” string. Finish the measure by simply barring your 1st finger on the second frets of the same strings. As long as you left your 2nd finger there, this transition will be relatively easy.
To play the second measure, remove all fingers except your 2nd finger. That finger should stay on the third fret on the “B” string. Play according to the tablature.
