[B] Now [G] let's look at that.
[C#] Starts up here at the ninth fret.
[B] And what we're going to do is we're going to hold the [A#] bar and [C#] we're essentially going
[B] to then grab with the third and [D#m] the second fingers there.
[B]
So Keith starts the pattern [A] on the fifth string and he plays like this.

[G#] [F#]
[G#m] [F#]
You notice for the last two strikes I released my third finger.
[A] So that was [C#] okay.
[G#m]
[F#] [B]
Now move [C#] that exact [A] pattern down to the seventh fret [A#] and it plays almost exactly the same.
[E] [F#]
[E] The only difference was Keith ends [A] this one, [A#] whereas he ended [B] this one.
The first two bars [C#] are.
[G#m]

also at the seventh [A] fret and it goes like this.
