Glub,glub!!

I'll take it anyway I can get it!

I've actually played around with the shots and holds in another part of the song and they worked perfectly for a part that required an abrupt halt followed by a held chord.

Sort of like a quick stop in a doorway followed by the crowd pushing you through.

Used an A. D... for that effect.

Tried adding double held chords to see if it would extend the pause long enough but that didn't seem to work. A... A...
Then added a Blank bar and filled it with another held Chord A...
But that was too long.

That's why I thought it might be done by adding a truncated ($5 word) bar with only 2 beats instead of 4.

Still open to suggestions and will update if I stumble on an answer.

Have a good one,
