   I know this chord is weird, but I hit it by accident and it ended up
   sounding closer to what Duane does. Go figure.

You could probably play the chorus and the bridge all on the 1st string,
but I find it easier to play it on the 1st and second. Less stretching.
Any comments/whatever to the address at the top.
