Song: Loaded Gun in the Closet Artist: Drive-By Truckers (Mike Cooley sometimes solos this one) Tuning: Open C The song is basically three chords, played normally, sus2, and sus4 by moving around 1 fret or two on the "e" and high "c" strings. Cooley walks among these combinations a lot, and from time to time, picks the melody on the middle C string, sliding between the notes while playing a C chord with the remaining srings.
