They lend a very pleasant sound on these frets. Try playing the same shape on these frets: third, fifth, seventh, eighth, tenth. Alice In Chains and Rush have used these shapes extensively. This shape is nothing new and can be played with pleasing results on other frets. The first finger is only pressing down the low F on the E string, allowing the open B (second) and E (first) to ring. This is an F Major Root 6 barre shape without the barre with the first finger. The rest of the chords are normal open shapes, except for the FMaj7♭5. The Em/D, D, and C/D are all upper partials of normal Root 5 barre chords. Some very interesting chord shapes in this section. In the strumming section, treat the eighths and any notes with a greater time value as downstrokes, and the sixteenths as down-upstrokes. Even measures forty-nine to fifty-seven, which return to arpeggios, are picked (also doubled by an electric guitar). The fingers give way to a pick here, and much of this section is strumming. This is a huge part of the song, even though the preceding sections are more recognizable.
