Playing tips

Another wonderful example of revelation brought by my Friend, which is

the Guitar.
First chord is denoted B/A, however to sound it similar to the one on the
album
(to which you are referred to, as always) play it like it is shown below.
Same applies
to the third chord - Em7/A, but I play it simply not using my left arm at
all for this
specific position. In other words, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strings are taken on
4th fret,
then same position is on 2nd fret, and the other strings are open. Check
for yourself
whether this approach works for F and F# as well.

Same base chord sequence (played by drums'n'bass + piano) is used during

long
ending through which Peter sings "Into a game, into a game....", which
eventually fades out.
