Pre-Bridge: - I hope this is clear: you let the BB and D MajorD strings ring out and then slide them to the ghost
notes on beat one of the next bar - the same beat you hit the open A. It took me a minute to get that
feeling natural, listen to the recording and you'll hear it :)

Bridge: - In a live video, Darren plays the FF major chord under "seas" in a closed position starting at
fret 13 on the E MajorE string because he has a cutaway acoustic. I don't, so I found this fingering to be just as
good and involves less movement to the next chord. Just an option for you.
