Alright, so this isn't exactly what Jacob's playing but it's close.
What Jacob does is very hard to play one instrument so I simplified it!
The intro is just the note D, in octaves. The meter is 5/4, the right hand plays a 2 against 5 polyrhythm
and the left hand plays a 3 against 5 polyrhythm. Like this:
* = eighth note
o = quarter note
o.= dotted quarter note
1 2 3 4 5 | 1 2 3 4 5 | 1 2 3 4 5
RH o. o o. o o. o o. o o. o o. o
LH o. o. o. o. o. o. o. o. o. o.
Look up "June Lee Hajanga", at 1:30 he transcribed the rhythm.
Voicing for Gmaj9(6) on piano is G D A B D E F# A Look up "Hajanga Piano Cover" for a topdown view of the chords.
