With Em/F#, the second fret note of the lowest D string is hammered on, then the second fret note of the A string is often hammered on too. =============================================================================== PLACE TO BE PINK MOON VERSION (FINGERPICKED DEMO VERSION FOLLOWS BELOW AT END) Tuning CGCFGE capo 5ish (a bit flatter than concert tuning, so maybe 4!) (or of course DADGAF# and capo a couple of frets lower) Here are the chord shapes. By the way, don't take a six-note chord to mean all of the notes are strummed all of the time - if you listen to the track it's fairly easy to duplicate.
