Getting it

[mdlbear]

This morning I picked up my guitar, thinking I should do a little practicing, and finally figured out that little four-beat pattern that Janis Ian uses in "The Last Train". It helps finally working out exactly what goes into a Gsus4 chord. I'm a little embarassed that it took me as long as it did to work out. Getting old and stupid, I guess.

It's actually a sequence of two-note chords, played on the G and B strings: Start with G and C (that's from the Gsus4), hammer-on from C to D. Then play G and D, and pull-off back to the C.

And did I mention that ThinkGeek is evil? They're evil. I put in an order yesterday, and we got a catalog in the mail this afternoon.
