Now what I did on that particular 7, I take my third finger lift it up and sometimes I put my pinky on the D note of the B-string third fret (optional), I did this out of a couple different ways but you can do like there’s an E chord ad your high G with your pinky on the 3rd fret of the E-string nice voicing back to E. Now what could happen with a song like this a lot of it is in the feel really just the swing of it and the vocals. I know I got a little carried away on that one and this is an easy strumming thing I know but I wanted to throw a couple little spicy things in there because in my acoustic lessons like horses I go into depth and all that stuff so I show you all the awesome sauce that’s in there like that is so simple by the way on that beat cord you can go so when you get your B chord like that it’s really easy to go those little moves you
