Chords
This is my first tab and I've only been playing for 6 months so these chord names will be atrocious but
this is how I've been playing it and his proformance recorded on the KCRW Show has confirmed this for me.
Asus 000230
Asus4 002230
Asus4/B(?) 020230 (sometimes he hammers on B as well)G5(?) 300030 (slides from 2 to 3 on G)
Bm/F#(?) 220030 (uses thumb for G)
Em7(?) 020030 (lifts thumb off)
could help, not many tabs being put up for this amazing album.
