The chords below are the basic chords, the adds and sus’s in parentheses are the notes 
hammer onto/off of.

You should play the Em7 up the neck at the seventh fret:

E—0
B—8
G—7
D—0
A—7
E—0

Play the A7 as a barre on the 5th fret when you add the 9 (hammer your pinky onto the 
fret of the top string), and as an open chord when you play the add 6 (alternating you 
between 3rd and 2nd frets on the top string).

For the G sus, play an open G and hammer onto the 1st fret of the B string for the 4-3 suspension.

And for the love of God, put some funk into your strumming.  Please?  Do it for me.

A culture based in illusion
