this version is in the key of E ( standard tuning ) , with some funky chord shapes .
the E is phil’s traditional version , using the index finger to barre the 2nd fret
on the 4th and 5th strings and the pinky pressing the 4th fret on the 3rd string .
E/G# is that chord but also hitting the 4th fret on the 6th string . the Asus4 uses
the 5th fret on the 5th string , 7th fret on the 4th string and the 9th fret on the
3rd string . the C#sus2 is the Asus4 shape moved down one fret .
