PERFORMANCE NOTES • G6 IS ADDING OPEN “E” TO RING • Gmaj7 IS ADDING “F#” ON BOTTOM STRING Both of these have OPEN 3RD AND 4TH STRINGS AND ROOT G ON 6TH • ALL OF THE G CHORDS IN VERSES ARE ACTUALLY “G5” CHORDS so you have to mute the "B" on fifth string and play the D & G on the bottom two (so no B's). • using a G6 and Gmaj7 in the verses is why the chorus sounds so much more powerful.
