Hey guys. I'm trying to figure out what chords this guy is playing. I was wondering if you could help me.

it's frustrating..I dont' know what the hell he is playing...

He plays these 3 chords in this order FIRST:
A) x79980
B) ???????
C) ???????

Then he plays these chords in THIS ORDER and they SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THE CHORDS ABOVE:
A) 022000
B) x35050
C) x57070

In the first set of chords he keeps his fingering around the 7-11th frets..
maybe this helps..thank you all for the help!

Here's some screen shots from the video..it's very hard to see what chords he's playing, but you might be able to get SOME clues from it:

Secondly. Here's a sound clip from the STUDIO version of the song:

Lyrics to go along with the chord changes:

(x79980)
Liiffeee...it's crazy HOW
(??????) *Plays around the same area of the guitar as previous chord*
somethings never work OUT
(??????) *Slides up the neck of the guitar to around the 11th fret AREA*

But I'm hoping that this time goes RIGHT
(022000)
Cause I've tried sooooo HARD
(x35050)
To keep you hanging on this LIFE
(x57070)

I cannot for the life of me, figure out what he's playing at the beginning. Please listen to the sound clip and view the pictures. I DEEPLY APPRECIATE ANYONE'S HELP! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Isn't this the smae post you posted earlier? Anyway isn't that Ryan Cabrerra or something? I would think you find some tabs of his stuff somewhere out there on the net.

He's probably just playing the same chords in different parts of the neck

hahah yes I posted in the other one but I thought that this section might be a better place to ask it. And yes he's playing the same chords on different parts of the neck with different voicings. THere are NO tabs on the internet for this song that show how you actually play it or how HE actually plays it...maybe you could give it a listen (the sound clip) and see if you can find out what he's playing? (Yes..it's ryan cabrera..lol)

Thanks a lot for your time

A) x79980 = E minor
B) ???????
C) ???????

Then he plays these chords in THIS ORDER and they SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THE CHORDS ABOVE:
A) 022000 = E minor
B) x35050 = a voicing of C
C) x57070 = a voicing of D

For the first group, you can play a C barre chord at the 8th fret, and a D barre at the 10th.

Just guessing.
