* 3rd-string could be left open then maybe the high-G 
is an
  overtone/harmonic caused by the tight fingering 
position.
  Suggestions welcomed from anyone who has seen Josh 
play.

RIGHT-CHANNEL GUITAR
Mostly the same voicings in the INTRO/VERSE with 
rhythmic variations.

Similar patterns continue in the CHORUS (but the 
chord-names change!)

   Cmaj9               D6sus4              G           
   1   + 2   + 3   +   1   + 2   + 3   +   1   + 2   + 
        Cmaj9
3   +   1   + 2   + 3   +

E|-------------------|-------------------|-------------
B|-------12--------12|-------12----10----|-12--------12

Bar-8 lick:                 Cadence:
   Cmaj9*                      G      (4)          G
   1   + 2 e + 3   +           1   + 2 e + 3   +   1   
+ 2   + 3   +

E|-------------------|      E|-------------------|-----
B|-8-----------8-----|      B|-8-----------8-----|-8---
G|-0---------0-------|      G|-0---------0-------|-0---
D|-10----9h10------/-|      D|-9-----9h10-----10-|-9---
A|-------------------|      A|-------------------|-----
D|-------------------|      D|-------------------|-----

  h = hammer-on
\ / = slide

The ring-finger slide on the Cmaj9-chord is really a 
position shift
since the index-finger plays the next note also at 
Fret-10.
