Tuning: Standard


Riff 1

NOTE: I'm not sure what they're doing to get this riff, but
I play it by sliding up the range of diads shown here, picking constantly
throughout with palm muting.

I agree with the previous comment, it's definitely easier to play this chord instead of that one.

If you can't reach this: D|--0--|A|--0--|G|--5--|D|--3--|A|--1--|, then try playing this one instead which is less of a stretch: D|--0---|A|--0---|G|--x---|D|--10--|A|--8---|.

I hear you on the stretch chord, it's definitely a challenge to play like Simon does. But if you want an easier option, try playing this version: D|--0--|A|--3--|G|--X--|D|--3--|A|--1--|D|-----| It's the same chord but with less tricky fingering.
