Sarah's best album to date is Fumbling Towards Ecstacy. The third track from

Fumbling, "Plenty", is in the key of Gm and fades in after about thirty

seconds of play w/drums and a thumping bass line. The time is 4/4. Start

with the Gm chord in the tenth position on the neck, as graphed below, then

just follow along. The rhythm is very free flowing, so listen closely to the

CD, let the chords ring out during play, yet semi-funky because of the texture

of the high-end strings, typical of James Brown ("Sex Machine") or Tower of

Power ("Squib Cakes"). Be careful not to hit the upper strings though! Use

the fat of your palm under your pinky finger and hold it lightly against the

top three strings to prevent the top strings from sounding. Otherwise, if you

are one of the few people who don't own this album, go out and get it, crank

it up, light a few candles, and let Sarah's amazing voice take you far and

away...
