Droning the A String

Please read this article on Guitar Tablature before we continue.

We are creating two-note harmonies with the open A string, by droning the A string, otherwise known as a pedal tone. The approximate chord names (technically not complete triads) are listed above the tab:


A5 A6 A7 Amaj7 A Asus2 Am A Asus4 A5
e|------------------------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------------------------
D|--2----4----5----6----7----9----10----11----12----14--
A|--0----0----0----0----0----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--
E|------------------------------------------------------
