"In this clip what I'm going to do is another example of a harmonized chord played over a basic drum beat. And what I'm going to do here is start an A except a, right here what I'm going to do is a sixth fret on the a G and the fifth fret on the A and play B open right that and I'm going to go, that's what I'm going to play and broken down what I'm doing is six, five on the G and the high E with the open B. Seven and seven on the G and the E and sliding up to the nine, back to seven and back to the sixth and the fifth fret and the whole time and just based to the finger style pattern will be, just a pinch and then using my middle finger for the open B the entire time ok? And with the drums it'll sound like this. So what you're using there is a harmonized chord played over a simple drum beat with the open string and having it create a nice little pretty either lick or could be pretty much used within anything within the context of a song."
