Description

The verse features a distinct chord progression played with a western swing feel. It also features some cool extended chords (A6, B13) that give the section a rich flavor. Keep the same strumming accents and feel as the intro, but bring the dynamic down to match the intensity of the section accordingly.

Watch out for a cool variation in the second verse. When we get to the F9 chord, we arpeggiate with straight 8ths along with the vocal phrasing, giving the section a nice lift leading back into the chorus.
