Tablature
How to do it
- Play the three inversions following the TAB: 2nd inversion (frets 2-3), root position (frets 5-8) and 1st inversion (frets 10-12).
- Curve your fingers well: on the bass strings it is easy for the notes to touch and sound muddy.
- Play each shape as a chord and arpeggiated, and change shape with the metronome.
