Then he dampens this [E] _ whole_
[B] Nothing but just a [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
variation.
[Em] _ _ _ [Gm] I can't play the beat [C] of the life of me, but_
_ [Gm] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [G] So what he does here, _ he has this ostinato going.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ And here's the [A] genre.
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [D] I don't know, it's_
Those are all I [G] remember.
_ So that's a great starting point.
[E] _ _ [F] _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _

With a little bit of work you can [Gm] go_ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [G] If you took your time and actually_
Take it places.
[D] _ _ _ Harmonics.
So back to [Em] percussive stuff, I'm a bit ADD, I'm sorry.
Thumb here, thumb here.
_ [F] Thumbs_
There's a great drum clap up here [D] on most guitars.
This [G] one is wonderfully [E] impressed and really has [G] proven_
He does good _ [Eb] stuff like [E] that.
I [Bb] usually just use this one out of [E] my_
Michael [F] Hedges, wonderful. _

That's something really cool, [C] and thumbs_
_ _ _ [G] _
It's cool, but I can't do it.
There's all kinds of stuff.
Percussive stuff, just find it and keep it slow.
People try to play two bars in one bite.
And [E] it's just too much process for the brain.
I didn't sit down and_
Oh, I'm gonna write a song.
Oh, okay. _ _ _
[G] _ None of this stuff just came.
I had to sit down and really spend time with it.
And [E] then play 50 shows with it until it [Eb] really worked.
[Gb] _
Harmonics.

because they're [Bb] the same as people who regularly_
