                      These guys are just 3rd inversions of the
                      movable A barre.  I use these to add more
                      bass to the sound when I'm playing alone.
                      Cut out the low E string for the regular
                      movable A if you want.

For the {harmonics} part, just lay your finger over the 12th fret
and slam away.


~ With some Weezeresque bass heavy distortion ~
