I'm pretty sure it's F#m - Asomething - Bsomething for the verse and Asomething - Bsomething for the bridge. I can't manage to find out exactly what are the "Asomething" and "Bsomething" Love this version, works really well with the riff being looped. I'm brazilian, if you'd like to know. Sorry for any english mistakes!

If thats what youre doing, which i'm sure it is bravo!! I tried it with I'm on Fire and although i dont know chord names you can have something fairly similar. It doesn't help his guitar has a light effect. Let me know how it goes as well, i'd be keen to play it if you can get it down Good Luck Last Edited By: Tucker100 07/01/2009 8:01 AM. Edited 1 times.

What I'm doing is just this for the A and B chords: e----- B---- D---9 A---7 E---5 Sounds fine, for me. The progression is just F#m - A - B for the verse and A - B for the chorus I'm brazilian, if you'd like to know. Sorry for any english mistakes! Last Edited By: fredromaniszen 07/02/2009 8:14 PM.

But, after listening and watching the video closely and then playing along with it, I actually think that the chords could be this... e------------ b------------ g---2---4---6 d---2---4---6 a---4---7---9 E---2---5---7 And the 4 and 6 notes on the G string would be the reason why your way of playing it sounds so close.
