Here are the chords that I use. They are actually quite simple. The fingerings
that are in parenthesis () are optional if you want to simplify further.
The barre chords are handy if you want to play the simplified version. Or, if
you feel you can do the (Medium) level chords, everything get's played in the
first position. To those of you who can handle them, just ignore the (barre)
chords.
I suggest that everyone play the chords in the first postion, but if you're
anxious to play for your "homies", use the simple chords.
Cheers,
Larry
