Notes: * bass note or one strum, you choose
Notes: + add extra notes, high octave scale run

(Piano notes for C played Arrpegio: CGEGCBGE, low to high)
Would have to use alternate tuning (perhaps open C)to play
exact note run from piano, don't have the low C on guitar,
this is not an exact transcription.
