Guitar Tabs

This is my accompaniment here below. It's not as complicated as it looks. You just have to break it down into chords and notice some patterns. Note that the picking pattern for the D chord is always the same. Note that the Ddim7 follows the same pattern as the D chord. Notice that the pattern for the first two beats of the G chord is always the same. The third and fourth beats of the G chord follow the same ascending four-string pattern as the Em7. For the Asus4 chord, I put on a standard open A chord and then clamp the third fret with my pinki - or let go of the B string altogether - as needed. For my Bm chord, I let my index finger pivot from its position in the preceding G chord, then put on an Am shape below that, as though it were barred. I'm only using the middle four strings of the Bm here anyway. I treat the A7 like a four-string chord, but I break with my ascending four-string pattern here just to spice things up a little bit. You'll notice that at "sources cease" I'm doing something different with my G-chord. In the hymnbook, there some accidentals here because we're transitioning from the G chord to the Em, so I wanted to do something that preserves that same transition. Think of this as a 4-string G-chord with the exception that I fret a D# on the D-string, then move from 3 to 2 (or G to F#) on the high E string.

It occurs to me that someone smarter than me could play the melody with some embellishment on one guitar and then you or I could play this as a "secondo" duet part on ours.
