hi can any of ye guys/girls help me out here with these chords at the start of this song what are they and how are they fingered the song is above the clouds by paul weller http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YD3ZmJThiY....thank you

Hey franky, good to see you around...well there may be some alternate tuning involved with those chords but for the main one that you see him moving around a little I'd say he's playing a G#Major/A and a D# Major, then he uses a barre minor shape that appears to be an F#minor for the one closest to the nut and a G#minor at the fourth fret, then a Fm(Major7th) up at the 6th fret. For fingering try  x 0 6 5 4 x to play the G#Major/A and for the D#Major try x 6 5 3 4 x. For the barre F#minor play a 2 4 4 2 2 2 and for the barre G#minor play 4 6 6 4 4 4 and for the Fm(Major7th) play 8 8 6 9 x x. Hope I've got all that right insofar as names, positions and fingering goes and I got those from watching the guy play and went to our chord finder and mapped them out. Also I noticed that if you click on his name it takes you to his profile and there's a way to get in touch. Maybe he'll teach you the chords and/or alternate tuning if used.

Ok, let's see how that goes for you and also if anyone has something to add !
