Im thinking its a E7

Bar position  E chord at the 9th fret with the 7 note  at the  7 fret third string ?

 Do I win a prize if Im right?

 L.O.L.

Good luck

so the pinky, ring finger and pointer are in on the action and her middle finger is not fretting anything?

if you are right, then you with the BHO Altruism Award for Free Advice.

Thats what it looks like to me.

 I played it a bit ( Quickly) and sounds that way as well.

 I would need to go back and review to be certain.

 good luck

This is a G chord variation.  It is the D formation played at the 7th fret which gives a G but the ring is playing a G# note on the 2nd string. The Index is playing a D note on 3rd and the pinky is playing a B on first. The middle would normally be on the 2nd string 8th fret but is not required there because the ring is playing the 2nd string at the 9th.

If you add the notes G# B and D you get a  G# Diminished chord. I am not very familiar with the tune but I believe this is being played to colour the G chord section of it.

It's an E7, minus the E note. It does have the notes of a partial G# diminished, but I don't know any band that puts a G# diminished in Raw Hide ;)

Bridge of Raw Hide: E7 / / / / / / / A7 / / / / / / / D7 / / / / / / / G7 [stop — tacet 4 bars]
