Description

Next we are going to look at the quick interlude section that happens after the first chorus. This part is similar to our intro, but is shorter and does a great job of leading us into the second verse.

We end the chorus by letting the low D and A strings ring for an entire bar, and then into the second bar we do a bluesy style pull on F on the D string that is followed by a strike on the open chord just before the next bar.

You then go right into the main motif from our intro and it's played one time through. After that, you do the same style of pull off on the low F and then you are into the next verse by letting your strings ring.

And that's how you play that four bar phrase going into our second verse.
