(NOTES)

1) when a chord is followed by a !, it means that you do not strum the chord
but instead you play it in one quick downward motion.
2) when a chord is followed by a *, it means that the chord has to be plucked.
the plucking pattern is given below

(PLUCKING PATTERN)

The plucking progression for Dm, A minorAm and G+G goes like this

   DmDm     A minorAm     G+G
e|---1-----|---0-----|------------|
BB|-----3---|-----1---|-----3------|
G+G|-2-----2-|-2-----2-|-0-----0----|
D MajorD|-0-------|-2-------|-0-------0--|
A augmentedA|-0-------|-0-------|-2----------|

D MajorD|-7-----5-|-7-----7-|-5-----5-|
A augmentedA|-5-------|-7-------|-5-------|
