Immediately following this, starting at 1:31, is a slow progression down from G to D/F# to F to E (in reality, with the detuned guitar, the
chords are F, C/E, Eb, then D, but I just call them by their usual positions on the guitar neck). Use the typical open chords with a simple folksy comp on each (If you have gotten this far, you should know what all that means). Listen to the cd to understand what I mean. When you get to E, instead of comping on typical open-E, substitute the intro, then:
