Extra optional stuff:
These are just a couple things I like to do to add a little more to the song.
Notice how the intro riff looks a like it will fit nicely onto the A chord?
Well it does! When playing the A in the intro, you can instead play an
Asus4 A Asus2 A riff. This works in the verses throughout the song as well
and sounds pretty cool.
You can also play around with this concept in the chorus as I will diagram
below. Note for space reasons I will just write A2 for Asus2(x02200) and
A4 for Asus4 (x02230).
A2 A A2 A Dadd9/F# A A4 A A2 F#m7
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
