Berens" <berensp@bc.edu> To: guitar@olga.net Subject: CRD: m/mellencamp_john/sweet_evening_breeze.crd "Sweet Evening Breeze" by John Mellencamp This a lesser-known tune off the "Human Wheels" album, but a fun one to play acoustic. It oscillates between meditative picking and exciting strumming. Notice my naming conventions with D/Dsus2 and D/Dsus4 below. Enjoy.
