Variation in G# Minor

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

This is slightly different than yesterday's riffing pattern, with some embellishments. The previous days' ambiguously power chord progression is now an obviously minor one in A-flat (Ab) or G-sharp (G#). You'll need to use your pinky to stretch to the 7th fret on the Low E string for this progression:


G#m
e|--------4-----------------|--------4-----------------|
B|--------4-----------------|--------4-----------------|
G|--------4-----------------|--------4-----------------|
D|--------6-----------------|--------6-----------------|
A|--------6-----------6-----|--------6-----------6--6--|
E|--4--4--4-----7--4--4-----|--4--4--4-----7--4--4--4--|

C#sus2 D#sus2
e|--------4-----------4-----|--------6-----------6--6--|
B|--------4-----------4-----|--------6-----------6--6--|
G|--------6-----------6-----|--------8-----------8--8--|
D|--------6-----------6-----|--------8-----------8--8--|
A|--4--4--4-----4--4--4-----|--6--6--6-----6--6--6--6--|
E|--------------------------|--------------------------|
