However, it sounds a bit better, especially if you audiably slide from 9 to 12 before hitting it and then again on the way down. ----- DRIVE From: Jack/Nancy Wagner {Part during second chorus} E-||-5-3-1-0-----0-1--5-3-1-0---1----||-5-3-1-0------------- B-||.--------3----------------3---3-.||---------1-3-5------- G-||.-------------------------------.||----------------?---- D-||---------------------------------||-------------------0-
