Dave...I went to "settings" on the Youtube video and cut the speed in half. I listened closely and discovered the full sound comes by playing an "open chord?" And you said it starts on an E (the lowest string?) and it plays over two octaves?

So, theoretically, if I get a good guitar patch I can sound just like that on The Letter and Stones songs and others?



Hmmmm .... I didn't listen to every measure, but if they refer to "open chords" that means the guitarist lifts his left hand up off all strings for a certain amount of time. The open strings on a standard tuned guitar are E-A-D-G-B-E.
