It's basically an 'E', played at the seventh fret on the 'A' string, and using the 'pinky' for the 'hook' note bending. He's muted the 'E' string with the wrap-around thumb. Not all the strings are played. You could just play any 'E' chord; t'will fit, but at that position he can get that bend in. Hope this helps.

repoman Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 The notes in that first chord there are E, G#, D#, F#. That gives you a root (E), a major 3rd (G#) and a major 7th (F#), making it some sort of Emaj7 chord. That F# is interesting as that's your 2nd (or in this case a 9th). I don't know exactly what you'd call it. Emaj7+9 maybe. That second chord looks like an E maj too but more straightforward. 12 x 14 13 12 x. It's essentially your open E chord played at the 12th fret but muting out the 5th on the A string and the highest E in the chord. You still get your root, major 3rd and 5th.
