How To Play Sweet Pea

Let’s now discuss a different technique to play the chord. This version sounds a little bit different. This position, which makes use of two open strings, is probably a little simpler if you are having problems with the chord version above. You should position your fingers here:

Re-strum all four strings while keeping your fingers arched to press down on the second fret. This arch will give the open strings room to ring freely, preventing accidental finger contact with the open strings, which would diminish their tone. Try using your middle finger on the E string if you find that your ring finger isn’t as comfy. It won’t take you long to hear how this variation sounds different from the previous one.

Sweet Pea is in what movie?

The 1999 movie Jesus’ Son has a frantic dance by Samantha Morton to the music. The Girl from Plainville, a Hulu drama miniseries, features the song in two of its episodes (2022).
