That looks almost like the 'hendrix chord'(dominant 7♯9) except it roots on the E string and is obviously different. It's one of his most-used chords but I never see anyone else using it.

Can you post an example? Trey's most used chord shapes have changed over time

Looks like a straight up G chord to me.....in that photo at least
Score: 0
The index is down two frets on I think the D string, but maybe the G.I think it may be a D-shape chord using the octave-lower root than the normal D-shape. Sound plausible?

im about to upload a photo for you. hang tight

Click to enlarge. This is a G major chord....looks to be the same fingering as the photo you posted
Score: 3
Looks like G/B - G but with a B bass note.Edit: Yep, he got it ^^^^^
Score: 2
it could be a variation of the D shape. its utilizing 3 of the same notes (on the D,G,B strings).

Yeah that's definitely it Sloth, thanks. I see him play that all the time and I've always wondered why. Pretty sure it's one of the main shapes in Ya Mar.

no problem. glad i can help.

Ok I got it, the index finger is just muting from what I can tell. Its a G chord with B as the bass note. Pretty much the Wolfman's formation of a major chord except instead of putting your index finger on the root, put your middle finger on the B. You could hold down the root also but in this case Trey is only playing a partial chord. Its at 1:26 of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtQYhs4WUP0&feature=youtu.beE - 7
A - x
A - x
G - 7
B - 8
Edit: you guys got it already. The main difference in what I see is Trey isn't playing the root, just muting

Regardless, with practice your fingers can do anything.

OP, next time you have a similar question this will answer it. I found this a few months ago and it has come in handy a couple times.

So it looks like this chord has 3 possibilities, depending on how it fits into the scale?

upon further review....every G major chord can also be called one of those other two.
Score: 0
Its an inversion of a G major chord. People do this because there is a bass and keyboard present. It's a way to cut through the mix. If Trey wasn't such a jedi he would muddy everything up by voicing a standard Bar version with the root down. You gotta figure mike has the root so trey's bottom is an octave plus 5. Think of the overtones and how they line up.
...oh plus girls think he looks cool when he does it that way.

I completely stand behind Guitar Toolkit for iPhone. It's supper comprehensive, includes scales and chords for multiple instruments and in varying tunings. Also, the tuner is spot on! It's a serious asset, IMHO.

Standard major chord, just an uncommon shape for most people to utilize.

to me this seems like a power chord of sorts. he is playing the root on the d string. the fifth on the g string, and root again on the b string. he is muting the A string and playing a major third on the low E string.
so i suppose you could call it a G/B. the top is ambiguous as far as major or minor.
