PM................
NOTE: Im not positive this is the chord Isaac uses for this. It sounds right however.
In order
for this to sound correct one must bend the pitch lower by about a half step then back to
the
Gmaj7 pitch. Isaac bends the strings the the back of the bridge on his red Whicca guitar.
If
you dont have suitable bridge to bend or a bar of sorts, then just quickly slide the Gmaj7
chor
down by a fret to the F#maj7 chord and quickly back to the Gmaj7. If you know this song,
you'll
understand what Im talking about. You'll also notice this finger position sets you
up real nice-like
for the verse.
