During the verse Warren slides up from Gm to Am and back to Gm while Derek Stays on Gm. Same thing with the Cm, Warren slides up to Dm and back to Cm while Derek stays on the Cm. Warren will play the bottom 3 notes of both 9th chords while Derek plays the top 3 notes. It really sounds nice playing live when each guitar plays variations rather than the exact same chord.
