         Long Train Runnin * The Doobie Brothers

This song is an excellent choice to learn for improving
your skills as a guitarist with strumming and barre chords.
This lesson teaches the song intro, which begins by using
the frethand index finger to barre the 10th fret from the
A string to the small e string(however the small e string 
is not played). This simply makes the barre position easier
to control.As you strum the barred fingering on the 10th fret,
simultaneously hammer-on to the 12th fret D string using the 
ring finger, and the 11th fret B string using the middle
finger. The trick to making this song sound good is to add
the muted strums before and during this chord progression,
which add a "percussion" type sound. The symbol d=downstroke,
and the symbol u=upstroke. The basic chord progression to
this song is Gm7 (barre), Cm7 (barre) D# major (barre) and
D major barre chord.
