Chords
I know I could just say Open E on the tuning but he plays it a step down and throws on the capo.
Just feels right.
Some of these chords are complicated by name because of the open tuning so here's a list of how to play
those and the ones you will know for sure. All relative to capo. He also adds little note flourishes
here and there that are easy to suss out if you listen to the song. All hammer-ons and pull-offs.
