The rhythm is like:
V V V V
One and-uh, Two and-uh, Three and-uh, Four and-uh
The roots of the chords are played on the hard beats,
except for the Emin where the B note is played
instead of the low E
I play it like:
C
e|-----------------|
B|---------1---1---|
G|---------0---0---|
D|---------2---2---|
A|---3-------------|
E|-----------------|
One and-uh
down down-up
There is a chord towards the end I called C** which I
don't know the official name of but the fingerings are:
C ** G Emin E7 Amin C
E N 3 N N N N
B 1 3 0 3 1 1
G 0 0 0 1 2 0
D 0 0 2 2 2 2
A 2 2 2 2 0 3
E N 3 N 0 N N
The C** is the chord that is commonly used for
transferrring a C chord to the Amin chord. So
play whatever you normally would for doing that.
