Im Cramped

The Cramps

Chord: Principal (acoustic and electric guitars)
We Chords Seal: This chord has been reviewed to meet the official criteria of our Quality Team.
key: B 
like an odd lead/rhythm guitar. It pretty much only plays the root notes of each chords,
lots of sliding around and some additional notes to the chord pattern. Oh, and as ever, 
ton of slap-back echo, and a smidgen of reverb.

    Intro
      - the complete chord isn't played, it's a weird kind of tremelo
        picking across the strings, no doubt with some effect on top of it
