FIGURE 5

Introduce a more sombre mood by playing these chords with a slow tempo. Begin with the first four chords and then follow them with a bar of E, B, and two bars of
C#m, making eight in total. It’s tempting to head back to B for the final bar but instead it’s deliberately been left open and unresolved, adding to the restless nature of
the sequence. Try hammering on with your third and fourth fingers after you’ve put the barre down on the G#m chord. This should work on C#m too, with the second,
third and fourth fingers. You could also try pulling off onto the open string with the third finger in the A major chord, leading back to the E chord. Have fun with these
ideas and see what you can come up with.
