(Jam it out)
Notes:
[Instrumental - Modulate and jam it out … consider jumping to Gm7 in the instrumental]
(N.C) You want to bring it down here, to create some tension and allow the chorus to have more power.
(N.C) So just riff on the bass F and 5th fret position pentatonics
You've got to carry both the bass and the rhythm here when playing acoustic, so make use of your open F and A#
Some alternate chords you can use to riff on.
