FOR TABLATURE OF MAIN CHORD RIFFS SEE BOTTOM OF PAGE
 
IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
B7sus4 = 7-9-7-9-7-7    A5 = 577xxx or x022xx
B7     = 7-9-7-8-7-7    B5 = 799xxx or x244xx
Em     = 0-2-2-0-0-0    D  = x-x-0-2-3-2
A      = x-0-2-2-2-0    C  = 8-10-10-9-8-8
Am     = x-0-2-2-1-0
