Chords for Open D picking,acoustic guitar lesson by Max Milligan

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Okay, here's a little tune sometimes called Vestapol [A] in Vestapol tuning.
It's an open D.
[D] D, drop D, [A] A, [D] D _ _ _ _ _ and my G has _ gone down to an F-sharp.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ B has [D] gone down to an A _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ top E _ is now a D.
So it's D, A, D, _
_ [Gbm] F-sharp, A, _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] A, A, A,
_ I'm going to keep [Eb] alternating the thumb between the [D] two D strings, the drop D, _ _ _ _ _ _ the open D. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And slide on the thinnest string, finger two, _ _ two, three, four. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] So it's slowed [A] down, I had finger [E] two, [A] _ _
_ second to fourth fret, [D] _ _ _
then [A] open first string, [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [A] onto
the open second string, which is an A, [B] _
_ to second fret [D] _ and back to open first.
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ On the B, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
so it's a little bit tricky to get the B string, _ _ _ _ _ _ so when I play the second fret,
second string, I'm playing the D fourth string. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] Another option, _ _ hammer on finger two _ [D] and _ then
pull off. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I will do a [G] few fills.
I'm going to come down, looks like a minor pentatonic shape,
[D] _ _ _ [N] 12, 9, 12, 9.
I'm using fingers four, one, four, one, and three, _ [D] four, and. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now that was seventh fret slide on the second string _ to nine, _ _ seventh fret first string,
_ _ _ [A] _ back [D] down to seven, down to the B string fifth fret.
[A] No, it was a B string second.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Real slow. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] I put [N] an A in there, that would still work, but you can keep playing the Ds.
You could [Dbm] put a bend in here if you want, instead of a [A] slide.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [B] Now the next bit looks like playing an E chord or an [A] E7, [Bb] _ [B] _ _
and [Bm] I'm going to pedal between the
fifth and the fourth string, [A] _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ and just firing off fingers [Gm] in between the [B] bass notes.
_ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Thumb,
_ [G] _ _ index, [Bm] _ middle, _ _ just jamming around with that shape.
_ _ [A] _ [Bb] _ [B] _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ Pull-offs on the second fret [Am] work on
both [A] strings.
[Abm] So here's [Em] my run down from the high [D] note, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
and that's just hammering _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _
open strings
five, four, and three, _ _ putting on that E shape.
_ _ A couple of other things you might want to jam
around with, [Am] our fifth fret [G] bar. _ _
_ _ _ [A] So, _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ come back to _ _ open for the D, [G] if [Em] you were G, you can again put
your E [G] shape down if you're good at playing bar chord, _
[A] _ _ [D] and _ _ _ put a few ideas together.
Nobody plays
this the same, so just do your
