Some things that I've noticed when I see 42 live.

 

Jonny & Chris use the same effect.

Jonny plays on dropped low D string.(DADGBe)

 

The riff on guitar after the intro is:

String G: Fret 10, then bend 12 to 13 and back, then 10.

Then a chord with the 13th fret on the G string in it.

 

Acoustic guitar CAPO 1st fret.

"Acoustic guitar CAPO 1st fret."

 

Thanks, I thought it was 2nd fret. (you can't see well in the video clips:angry:)

Didnt seen it good too.. But I know the bass notes are mostly in F, and the first fret of both E strings is the F.. so I play it acoustic with capo on 1st. :P

Makes sense.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!!! :heart:

^I thought he just played the bass note, could be wrong, doesn't matter really, whichever sound you prefer...

The guitar is in DADGBe tuned in 42. ;)

^^ Yup stephanbass, Jonny plays it in drop D tuning. It could be played either way.

Probably is easier in drop D because then the notes on both strings are on the same fret.

example: so instead of

A--11

E-- 9

it would be

A--11

E--11

but you already knew that....:P

 

To Tnspieler1012 , I saw some videos were he plays the 5th string also (I think), not just the bass note. but yeah, it's whichever way you prefer.
