* 3rd-string could be left open then
 maybe the high-G is an
  overtone/harmonic caused by the 
tight fingering position.
  Suggestions welcomed from anyone 
who has seen Josh play.

RIGHT-CHANNEL GUITAR
Mostly the same voicings in the 
INTRO/VERSE with rhythmic 
variations.

Similar patterns continue in the 
CHORUS (but the chord-names change!)

   Cmaj9               D6sus4     
   1   + 2   + 3   +   1   + 2   +
         G                   Cmaj9

Bar-8 lick:                 Cadence:
   Cmaj9*                      G  
   1   + 2 e + 3   +           1

  h = hammer-on
\ / = slide

The ring-finger slide on the 
Cmaj9-chord is really a position 
shift
since the index-finger plays the 
next note also at Fret-10.
