Letting the Open B and High E Strings Ring

If you don't know how to read guitar tab (as computer text), this section of a Wikipedia article may help.

Letting the thinnest two strings ring for various chords can make a six-string almost sound like a twelve string, create interesting melodies, or make possibly useful dissonance. Here are some safe bet voicings:


Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2 E5
e|--0----0----0----0--
B|--0----0----0----0--
G|--4----6----2----9--
D|--4----6----2----9--
A|--2----4----0----7--
E|--------------------
