progressions.
Hmm. Perhaps he rearranged it, but I'm pretty sure he plays it in
standard tuning (key=E). In fact, the chord progression for this tune
is one of my favorites, and I use it often to test pickups because
it combines high fretted strings with open strings, and the combination
of this with heavy strumming is a good pickup test. Anyway, I don't
have a guitar here (I don't think my officemate would appreciate it!),
but as best as I can visualize it in my head the first few chords in
the version I've seen him do has these fingerings (lo to hi):
[079900] [079800] [076400] [077600]
I've learned a handful of his tunes, and they were all in standard
tuning or drop-D. A couple of them I copped off of his old
"Front Row" concert video. I think he has a couple concert videos
still available; they might help you figure some stuff out.
Peace,

Does anyone have the rest of the fingerings/tab figured out for the whole song? Thanks
