[End] [Solo - USING DROP D SO SOLO IN D WORKS BETTER IF HIT LOWER STRINGS - AND G IS GOOD AS WELL] (when playing D - can add lots of extra runs in Bm pentatonic) E x---X--- B 10--8--- G 7---7---- D 7---5---- A 0---5---- E 0---5---- Can also play notes whilst droning low D E X----------------------------------- mute with finger playing B string - angle finger over B 10-8-7--5--etc------------------------- G 7-----------------------------------mute with finger playing B string - angle finger over D 0----------------------------------- A 0----------------------------------- E 0-----------------------------------mute with thumb over top Can also play diads as well
