What I'm going to show you, here, is using two chords and using a harmonized chord to make a nice little turnaround for the progression while you're playing it. What I'll show you here is playing A major 7, playing that rhythm. Now, you can choose what fingering you're going to use. Me, I use my pinkie on this one.

Then, what I'm going to do is make my harmonized chord which is the two strings together, played together in a harmony.
