- This is the "half-diminished" chord. According to JoCo he plays it x4545x
- I play this chord by sliding a C major up one fret.
- It’s a complete cheat but it sounds nice.
- The opening riff is multitracked, so play it however you wish.
- If you master the arts of time-travel and space-time-multi-existence
you can even have a screaming 70’s style harmonized duet with yourself, if you really want to.
