Chords
This song is originally played on a baritone 8 string guitar in B E A D F# B tuning.
As most of you won't have this one at home, just use the chords below for a normal 6 string in standard tuning
No Capo required, but of course it won't sound like an 8 string.
Obviously there's a lot of picking going on in this one.
So, below you'll find the basic chords he uses for his picking, try experimenting with those!
