Hey guys, I've been watching the intro to this video over and over again, and I can't quite figure out what chords he is playing. I understand the technique, (although I'm not quite sure what it is called) I can't figure out the chords though. If someone could tell me or post a quick tab of it, even something that sounds remotely similar to what he's playing, that would be just awesome. :)

Thanks.

EDIT : I need sleep, just erased my entire reply. It did not answer your question at all.

two of the chords look like Bm and Bmadd9...

i hate typing tab in this place so i'll use a different kind of notation...

A 1 means 1st fret A string
D6 means 6th fret D string
etc

for Bm:

E 7
A 9
D 9
G 7
B 7
E 7

for Bmadd9:

E 7
A 9
D 11
G 7
B 7
E 7

if you know the chords to mountain song you'll probably be able to get the other chords... looks like maybe it's the same shape moved up to an e root (E 12) and then maybe f# (E 14)

of course i could be way off - not tuned my guitar in weeks :lol:

hope this gets you closer!
