Fix You - Riff

[Rodey]

When Jonny plays the riff in Fix You, is he muting other strings?

 

I've watched a ton of videos of Fix You and it always looks like Jonny has other fingers on the fretboard and is doing something else. I always just play it with one finger while plucking the B string.

I just play that with one finger, but it always looks like Jonny is doing something more.

 

Anyone have anything to say about that?

[Puzzling]

The guitar is tuned 1/2 step down. So he plays with an open 1.string

 

Eb|-0-0-0

Bb|-5-5-5

 

etc

yeah that's right bt anyways what does he do with other fingers, I've noticed too and I agree he is muting other strings but I'm not sure
