"What Ever Happened?" - The Strokes 


Ok, I figured out the positions from their performance
on Conan O'Brien.  The only part I'm not sure about is
what Nick (gtr. 2) is doing right before the solo.  On
that particualar part during the performance...  he just
strummed open notes.  He does something different on the
album, though.  

Oh, yeah...  I also have no idea what chord
shape Nick (gtr. 2) is holding when he slides up the neck
during the Outro.  It's something based around what I put
though...  I think.
