Notes
- There are many different ways to play these chords. We have used voicings that are all within close proximity to each other.
- The Gm run uses a particular voicing for easy transition from one chord to the next.
- There are a couple of Eb major chords you can try. The first uses a D shape chord while the second uses a C shape chord with a mini barre on fret 3 - you can use a full barre over the first 5 strings for ease as it has no effect on the chord as all notes are covered on strings 4 & 5.
