This Land Is Our Land
By: Todd Snider
Opening acoustic guitar riff: ho=hammer-on; po=Pull-off; string is given as
letter (i.e. E, A, D, etc.); number is the fret. Let's see if I can do this.
|---Dmaj position----|-----Cmaj position-----|Dmaj==>and repeat
| hoG2 D MajorD hoG2 hoD3 G+G | G2 hoA3 hoD2 hopoD2 A3| G+G
What you're realy doing is :
Hammering on a Dmaj position, changing to a Cmaj position, and doing the
pulloffs from those positions. The third note from the end, I'm showing
as a hammer-on-pull-off is just and open D MajorD string note with a quick finger
down and up on the 2nd fret, and immediate return to Dmaj (open G+G string
is the first note in the chord).
When performing this tune on an acoustic guitar, you use the Dmaj position
part of the above riff, and then pick the top three strings (A,D,G), hammer-
on the 2nd fret D MajorD string of the Cmaj, then go to Gmaj and do the same hammer-
on on the 2nd fret A augmentedA string of the Gmaj, as you sing the verse lines.
