The guitar work on “Soul Train College Policeman” highlights a classic Robert Pollard technique where he creates two-note chords consisting of a fretted note on one string in conjunction with the next highest string being played open. In this song, the fretted notes are at different points in the song located on the fifth, fourth, and third strings.
