A D E F G C3 D3

^ ^

These guys are just 3rd inversions of the

movable A barre. I use these to add more

bass to the sound when I'm playing alone.

Cut out the low E string for the regular

movable A if you want.

For the {harmonics} part, just lay your finger over the 12th fret

and slam away.

~ With some Weezeresque bass heavy distortion ~

Intro Riff, repeated 2x: 0.03-0.17
