This arrangement is for playing without a bass player.
It takes from Greg Allman's style, and adds bass notes, suitable for playing alone or with another guitarist.
Ignore the chord drawings, which are machine-generated.
For chords marked with "*", let the top strings ring (let B & E strings ring for chords with roots on the E string, let E string ring for chords with roots on the A string.)
