Triumph - Great band - here is a great cut from the JUST A GAME album
When the tab says E [open] that means a power E5 chord on the 7th fret with the high B
and E strings open and ringing... B [open] is the B barre chord on the 7th fret also
with the high B and E strings open and ringing... the high E note making it a B11
chord. The D open chord is the power D5 chord on the 5th fret with the high B and E strings open
and ringing making it a D 6/9 and A open is the A barre chord on the 5th fret also with
the high B and E strings open and ringing making it technically a A9 chord...
