These chords are intended to be played fingerpicking,
not strummed. The thumb picks the bass notes first,
then pluck the rest of the chord with index, middle
and ring fingers together, with a swing feel.
Hammer-on the C note of the G4 chords from the
open B string.

I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.

the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS, please follow the
