the chords are all technically correct, but colin doesn't play this with a capo. and theres some picking he does for the intro/verse riff. can u figure that out at all?
your right osiris45 it's not capo'd. It's first off in the Key Of D, and also slightly palm muted. But the verse and the intro are the same, just play around with your pinky finger while in the D position. Around the 4th fret. Try around D and G hammering on, if not that just play with it a little more. As for the A, I think he hammers his finger which is on the D, not positive but it sounds pretty good. All this while slightly palm muted. As for the Chorus he plays G,D,G,D,A,G then goes back into the riff before the verse. I also believe it ends on G or D, I forget which one. Hope all this this helps
This song is crazy simple, why confuse it with a capo.
Its open D then Open A plus a little bluesy vamping
