Hold A - take tuning back up to E
##################### Dakota
E - Dakota E - Sex on fire - add to main song as well as these notes playing the high D# with little finger so easier to fret and make ring out when playing the C#m under - also only partly play the riff at start of chorus to get that sense of propulsion when you start to play all of it
Also add to superstition notes how you are fretting the horn parts now (not fretting the D string - low and high E will do)
