EXAMPLE PETE TOWNSHEND STYLE

[Bar 15] Here’s another classic Townshend movement – the sus4 chord moving to major. Check out Behind Blue eyes for plenty more of this, or indeed the wonderful 12-string-driven sunrise from The Who sell Out.

[Bar 21] another common ‘colour chord’ in Pete’s toolkit is this asus2 shape, one of those harmonically ambiguous chords containing no 3rd.

[Bar 31] Getting into the strumming section may need some practice as Townshend will often use a banjo-style, rapid 16th-note flourish on the strumming hand to give his already beefy rhythm parts even more energy.
