Loop 4
Add in some chords for depth, one chord per bar, either let it ring out or give it some rhythm. Sometimes
I make this into two loops, once with just the bass note being played more, then the second loop is each
chord strummed once and left to ring out. To each their own though, do you.
Bm D A E
You can also do one loop open chords, another loop barre chords to make it sound more full.
Loop 5 - Play this once at the beginning of each bar, totalling 4 times.
