EXAMPLE DAVE MATTHEWS STYLE

[Bar 31] Matthews will often use these types of chords where he only frets a couple of notes but lets the ringing open strings remain common to each chord and thus fill the sound out - Pete Townshend is another fan of this.

[Bar 37] This final section features the sort of picked riff that is also common within his playing and writing. Watch out for the alternate-picked parts here, as you’ll need quite a deft picking hand to get them sounding clear.
