There's a bit more going on in this than is written here as in the alternating between the E to E7 and the hammer, the E9 = XXO43O to D9 = XXO21O to Open = XXOOOO to E then E7 and the fingerings of the C and the D. I'd recommend watching George and Jim at play for the nuances - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK1rAk5kC8Y Constuctive criticism, comment and/or rating appreciated. Enjoy!
