Chord fingerings: EADGBe 022000 - Em X02220 - A X21202 - B7 X79987 - Em(VII) x57775 - D(V) 002220 - A/E 320003 - G X32010 - C 355433 - G(III) 2X0010 - C/F# XX0232 - D X02210 - Am X24442 - B 797877 - B7(VII) * play Em with your 3rd & 4th fingers, then slide those upto the 4th fret Bend notation : / x(y) fretted at x, pick and bend upto y \ x(y)x fretted at x, pre-bent (to y), pick and release bend back down to x h is a hammer on p is a pull-off sl is a slide ^v^v^v^v is tremolo (?with a wang bar) I'm not at all sure about the C/F# and in theory, the Bs and As should all be minor chords, but it doesn't sound right like that. Any suggestions welcome. Nic Nic.Boulton@mercury.co.uk
