This is a wicked song from one of my favourite artists! I originally figured it out
a capo because that's what seemed to work at first, but then when attempting to figure out
little variations I realized he's playing it with a capo at the seventh fret. The extra
played on those variations are at what would be the seventh and fifth frets of the
E string, and there's no audible sliding, so you can tell he's playing it at a much
position than open.
I'll include the original, capo-less way I figured the song out for those of you without
capo! It won't sound exactly the same, but you'll get the same general feel from it.
