Crunched Chords (After 1st Chorus):

(Y'know how to do these - hand resting on strings over bridge, just
shutting them off...etc.)

DDDDDDDC--DDDDDDDC--DDDDDDDD-D-D-FF-G----

Funky Chord (!):

(Basically just a D (barred on the 10th fret) only just play top 3
strings, eg:)

e||---|---|-- - - - --|-o-|---|---
B||---|---|-- - - - --|-o-|---|---
G||---|---|-- - - - --|---|-o-|---
D||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|---
A||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|---
E||---|---|-- - - - --|---|---|--- - -
10th
fret

Play in a "funk" fashion (ie. strumming a constant rhythm (a fast one)
lifting fingers away from frets to 'kill' the strings and create rhythm
patterns) for 8 bars...

Solo:

e:-10---10----1-0------1-331-0----10---------1-0---10----1-331-0---10-------
B:----3----33-----33-3---------3-----33-313-3---33---33-3--------3----33-313
G:--------------------------------------------------------------------------

C'est finis.

As for Floorshow - keep at it! It'll click eventually, it's all about
rhythm (and blagging it!)

All the best.
