*Capo 1st Fret*
*All chords are relative to capo but all tab is relative
to nut (i.e. a "1" in tab is an "open" string)

G/B=x20033 A7sus4=x02233 or 540055
A#6=650066 or x03366*
Cadd9(use this type to follow A#6)=870088 or xx5588*
*Guitar 2(Todd) plays arpeggios of these chords while Glenn
strums the rhythm with the first type
