Beginner Guitarist: A fair knowledge of open chords is required, and you can replace the F#m and F#m7 barre chords, with easy alternatives... see charts above.
The Fdim7 may look a little scary, but is very easy to play. The xx3434 is charted, but the xx0101 inversion sounds great as well.
After the change in time signature, power chords can be played during sections with guitar distortion, with six down-strokes per bar.
The Power Chords that come into play over-ride the following:
A β A5
D β D5
E β E5
