Here's a couple things that will give you kind of country rock sound. This first one shown here in G can be played three frets lower. Insteadde of playing it on the 3rd or 15 fret, drop it down three frets and play it open or 12th fret.<br><br>E|---|---|--Â®|---|---|--Â®|---|<br>B|---|---|--Â®|---|---|--Â®|---|<br>G|---|---|--Â®|---|--Â®|---|---|<br>D|---|---|--Â®|---|--Â®|---|---|<br>A|---|---|--Â®|---|--Â®|---|---|<br>E|---|---|--Â®|---|---|--Â®|---|
