4. This also sounds great on a 12-string.
This is a simple song that can work well with a single guitar and
even with a single voice. It's all strumming, except for some
ALL CAPS. Derek echoes or harmonizes on the parts marked with
(parentheses). Danielle joins for the parts in {braces}.

Opening to "Lead of Love"

the highest three strings (G, B, E). The highest two strings (B, E)
basically you just move up and down the G string. Just make sure
your finger doesn't hit the open strings, to keep them ringing.
Since the highest two strings are always open, I numbered them as 0,
for the G string I've named the fret by the ACTUAL number, so it's
easier to figure out where you are that way.
And as in all tab, make sure you're reading this in a font that
gives equal spaces for each character (ex. courier), or else the
lines won't line up.

12-string--once, and then I start strumming the full chords.
Once you go to strumming full chords, the easiest way is to use
the basic E and A9 fingerings. This way your hand is always in the
same position at the second fret. You can also add the hammer to the E
and the optional notes to the A9 with your pinky finger. This puts
But here's an even better way that's not much more difficult:

first chorus, and in the outro, though I use the basic E and A9 for
about half of the outro to keep these from getting monotonous. Note
that you can play all this keeping your ring finger on the 4th string.
