    Sinners Like Me

Saw some posts placing the capo on the 6th Fret. I think  Eric actually plays 1/2 
step down as I do. 
It is a standard G, D, A, Bm "chord shaped" progression. If your in standard "E" 
tuning you can still play these chords. 
It will just be in a different key than his track. Trick is finding your "Key" or 
the pitch you sound best in. 
Chord progression 1 G-D-A-Bm
Chord progression 2 D-A-E-Fm
Chord progression 3 F-C-G-Am
There's different ways to do it, but you get the idea. "FIND YOUR KEY"
I have very minimal "Music Theory" or "Circle of 5th's" training or knowledge.
But just learning this much has helped me expand drastically in my live shows.
So if you want to play in his tuning, Bring your guitar down 1/2 step and play these chord shapes.
