Whats actually going on in the opening chords to concrete blonde's "Joey".
Its a G5 to a Gsus in the 1st position, or pretty close, at first listen. But it sounds an octave higher or something, or its a different voicing played at or near the 10th fret. Has anyone covered this tune? Plus, that same sound is happening on the solo. What IS that sound??? I watched the video and Mankey plays the solo at the 12th fret position, yet it sounds different to me, kind of a desperate wail - really suits the song IMO. Anyone? Thanks!!
